Polemi Tulip Festival Is Coming!
As Spring has now officially sprung, the dark soils of Polemi are once again being lifted up from below, and the tulips are emerging to bathe the countryside in glorious colour. And it's not just tulips either. Nature is putting on a magnificent display, and the Good People of Polemi want to celebrate it. Yes, on Sunday 7th April at 11AM, the Tulip Festival is coming to town.
The Field From Above
Years ago tulips covered the fields around Polemi. Modern farming techniques put paid to that, so a specific area was set aside to protect some from civilisation. This is the specific field from above, and you can just about pick out the red hues from up here.
Guard Pooch
Of course, to get to the field you may have to get past Beelzebubbles, Polemi's designated Tulip Guard (also known as Bonnie, and she doesn't guard the tulip field relly, though is very friendly).
Look, Don't Touch
And this is the field. It is well signposted too, throughout the village. To get here, just get to Polemi and follow the signs.
Blooming Wonderful
There's a bumper crop this year.
Drone View
I should point out that these shots were taken with my drone. I didn't invade the inner sanctum of the tulip field, and neither should you unless invited by the powers that be.

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.
