The Polemi Community Project
Published 3rd of July, 2023
Up, Up and Away!
I shall round off the article with some shots I took with the drone. As the area is fairly built-up there are quite a lot of telephone and electricity cables to watch out for, so I had to gain a bit of height first.
It's amazing what can be achieved when a community comes together.

This is a view of the main road, the park, and the coffee bar. If you follow the road up you will pass the school and the Olive Tree Restaurant, before heading into Psathi and beyond.

Polemi Morning Moods
Kalimera from Sunny Polemi! It looks set to be a glorious day, and a morning mist tempted me to launch my drone skywards to take in the emerging scene. There will be a film to follow but for now, feast your eyes on these glorious scenes of Cypriot village and country life...
Polemi in 500 Metres
I went for a stroll around Polemi this morning. I didn't use the SMS service, so had to stay within 500 metres of our house. Turns out the light was fantastic and I was able to take some nice pictures, assisted in part, by one of our cats who decided to follow me on my travels...
The Polemi Tulip Festival
Last weekend, the tulip festival came to Polemi, and we were there with our camera to capture a snatch of Cypriot Life.
The Twelve Churches of Polemi
A while ago we reviewed a new map book on Cyprus. We noted that it showed a lot of churches in Polemi that we were unaware. Many of them were in ruins now, but we thought they deserved to be seen. So join us as we visit them all, or at least, what's left of them.Related Pages

The Community Spirit is alive and well in at least one corner of Paphos! In Polemi, a group of volunteers, with the help of the local Mukhtar, are converting an area of wasteland into a Community Garden for the whole of Polemi to enjoy. A few days ago we paid them a visit to see how things were progressing.

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.
