Paphos Walkway Is Open!
Interesting Rocks
I did spy some interesting rocks on the way down the bridge. They were in an area of the Archaeological Park I hadn't visited before. I shall store that information away for a later visit...
Beginning and End
This is the other end of the bridge. To the left, you can see a turnstile in the fence that surrounds the Archaeological Park. On the other side a track leads up to a lookout spot, and beyond that lies Toumpallos.
More Parking
There are a few parking spaces available here too.
Final Drone View
So there you have it, after several delays, the bridge is now complete and you can use the walkway at your leisure. Hopefully it will encourage more people to explore the further reaches of the Archaeological Park. A few years ago I took over 3000 360 pictures in the park, for a virtual tour. You can see that in the TOURISM menu at the top of the page. When I was doing that, I got to see just about everything there was to see. Toumpallos was one of my favourite areas, along with 40 Column Fortress. Yet, because of their location, they received very few visitors. This made it easier for me to photograph, but I did think it a shame at the time.
And Finally...
Once I had taken the last picture, I pointed the camera down, and saw I had a lovely view of Fabrica Hill's amphitheatre, from above, so here it is.
As the Mayor says, Paphos is changing, and long may it continue to do so, if all the changes are as good as this walkway!
There will be a film along shortly showing the bridge. And if you want more information on Fabrica Hill, use the links below.

Let's Take a Look At Fabrica Hill
We've driven past Fabrica Hill many times over the years, and often wondered what was up there. (It's the area of land diagonally opposite The Mall, in case you didn't know). After comments and photos started appearing on the forum about the erection of a raised walkway, we decided a visit was overdue. With no expectations of what we would see when we got there, other than a vague feeling of disappointment that despite what it looked like, they weren't building a roller coaster, this is what we found.
Beyond Fabrica Hill
A few weeks ago we blogged about Fabrica Hill. We went to find out about the new walkway, and to see what was on the hill. The blog was very popular, but left people chomping at the bit for more. Why didn't you feature the amphitheatre? Where will the walkway end? Why are there never any hedgehogs in your blogs? Most of these questions were asked. So the other day, we went back to find the answers. Not only that, but we also found that most elusive of creatures, an artist's impression of what the walkway will look like when it is complete. So read on to find out...

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.
