Park Of Colours Almost Ready
A couple of months ago we reported on the Park of Colours, which is being constructed behind the central Paps Supermarket in Paphos. It was due to be finished "within weeks". I went to Paps this morning, and had a sneak peak around back, to see what progress had been made. I wasn't disappointed.
View From Below
My first port of call was the area below Papantoniou's. The park is still fenced off, but you can see that it is beginning to look a bit greener now.
New Carparks
They have also made provision for people to park their cars, which is handy, especially when you consider that there are numerous sports fields here.
A Sports Field
You will find numerous sports fields like this dotted around Paphos. They often look deserted, but if you drive past them at night they often have a game playing under floodlights.
Basketball Court
We've already seen purple flowers. Here you can see orange and yellow flowers blooming in front of the Basketball Court. Is this why this is called the Park of Colours? Are we in for a floral treat?
Upper Carpark
I've now come up to the main Papantoniou's car park. I am happy to report that it has now grown. For weeks it has been a bit chaotic, but now there are a lot more spaces available. You get to this area by driving through the original carpark, so bear that in mind before waiting by the shop for an empty space.

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.
