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...
A Cold And Frosty Morning
There was a frost in Polemi this morning. It didn't leave nice icy patterns on the car window, but I photographed it anyway, just so you could see how cold it is. Now admittedly, if you are reading this in snow-bound Britain, you will quite rightly scoff at this. However, my blood is now used to 45 degree summers, so this was cold to me!
Frosty Vineyard
There was a sparkle in the air today. It was very clear, dust-wise, and the frost added an interesting element to the colours on display. Here you can see a well-manicured vineyard.
Blossom
I didn't want to use up one of my available phonecalls this morning, so decided to keep my walk to within 500 metres of our house. This meant I could walk up to the main square, and take the left turn to the school and Olive Tree, before returning home down a farm track.
Solar Success
In past Polemi rambles we have gone along the summit of those hills in the distance. This time we are playing it a bit more "urban". Well, as urban as Polemi gets, anyway.
Urban Goats
From our house, if you take the direct road to the centre, you will go past a goat farm on your left.

Polemi Tulip Festival 2018
This morning, Polemi was bathed in Spring sunshine, as it invited people to come and see the tulips that flourish there every year. It is an annual event, which gives a true taste of traditional Cypriot life. And as we live in Polemi ourselves, it would be rude not to cover it, wouldn't it?Related Pages

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.
