Before I forget, this was the film I recorded while I was taking pictures.

I tried out the peanut brittle here on my way through.
Jewellery
I think there were more Artisan stalls here this year. Who knows, perhaps they could have even more next year, and incorporate that new space up by the Harbour?
Religious Symbols
Given that Kataklysmos is a Religious Festival (celebrating the end of the Great Flood) I wasn't surprised to find all these murals and votive offerings for sale. You will see them placed at many of the shrines you find around Cyprus.
To The Main Event
Now we come to an area set aside for eating. During the day, this will seem quite empty. However, at night there will be lots of people sat down tucking into the available goodies. One festival staple is Loukoumades.

Paphos Kataklysmos Celebrations
Kataklysmos is a big deal in Cyprus. The whole island celebrates with water festivals, traditional events and numerous other activities. Traditionally the biggest celebrations occur in Larnaca, though every town and city does their bit. Paphos is having its own celebrations, and the Sea Front is teaming with stalls selling allsorts. Over the next few days there are also performances to be enjoyed at Paphos Castle. We went down to the Sea Front to join in the fun.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
