Polemi Lockdown
Published 28th of March, 2020
People Are Watching
Funnily enough, a car pulled up while we were on our walk. A lady got out, and by the time we were returning home, she was actually in the field. I first noticed her because a farmer was asking what she was doing. Then my wife went and interrogated her, and given that she used to be a Primary School teacher, this can be quite a formidable experience! The lady explained that she was allowed to be there and was doing a scientific study. If this is not in fact the case, do let us know.
The bottom line is, don't try and play silly buggers with the tulips. People are watching.
Blooming Marvelous
Those tulips that have already flowered do look lovely though.
It's not all about the tulips. There are many flowers out in bloom.
I don't know why, but I really like this one taken by Alex. It looks almost 3D.

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?

Polemi Sunset
Polemi isn't known for it's sunsets, well, to us at least. They are normally the domain of the coastal areas of Paphos, and Max's house. However, this evening, the Gods smiled on us, and granted us a lovely sunset. The photos can provide a brief, fitting epilogue to our last blog, Polemi Sunrise.
Polemi Snow!
I know Polemi has had snow many times before, but this is the first time we've had proper snow since we moved here in June. So naturally I had to take some pictures...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.
