Paphos Seafront - What A Mess!
Cafe Closed
The Cafe by the Municipal Baths was also closed for renovations. I think that was just a coincidence though.
Tea For Two
Similarly, Tea For Two was out of action. Mind you, given its recent history, where a balcony collapsed, I think it was undergoing some much needed maintenance (the building that is, not the restaurant itself).
How Much Further?
And how much farther will the work progress to? Will Pingouino's get visited? Will they finally make it up to Bar Street? Let's face it. If anywhere really needed some attention in Paphos, it has to be the top end of Bar Street.
Post-Renovation
The new outdoor gym though will serve as a timely reminder of how nice an area looks once the renovations are complete.
Work In Progress
So there you have it. The Mayor certainly means business, and wants everything to be legal and above board. His methods may seem heavy-handed here, but without knowing the history behind it, it is hard to cast any judgements. The powers that be would do well to remember though, that now is the peak Holiday Booking time. People casting their eyes around for a nice destination might well look at Paphos and consider it a Building Site to be avoided. They would be wrong, but first impressions count. So this work needs to be finished as quickly as possible.

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.
