Paphos Carnival 2018
Published 18th of February, 2018
Carnival was postponed for a day at the last minute this year. It was an inspired decision. Instead of a washout, Cyprus basked in sunshine, and Paphos partied...
Before The Fun Starts
I arrived at just after 2PM. The road was roped off, and towards the port the crowds were gathering. I wanted to set up camp just past Pingouino's though. That is on a slope and I figured I would get a better picture of the carnival as it came down the hill.
Luckily I was able to find a tree's shadow to stand under. It was very warm for February!
Costumes Abound
You didn't need to take part in the carnival in order to dress up. Loads of kids (and adults!) took the opportunity for a bit of fancy dress.
Nice Ears!
Banana Man is Late
It's not every day that a man can walk up a pavement dressed as a banana without anybody staring.

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.
