Polemi Tulip Season
Polemi is now in bloom, so come with us as we take a tour of the Tulip Fields and see what Mother Nature has produced for us this year.
Tulip Village
As you drive towards Polemi from the B7, you will notice this sign on your left. Polemi is known as the Tulip Village, for a very good reason. However, you could be forgiven for feeling a bit short changed, as you won't have seen any tulips in the fields bordering the road. Rest assured, they are there. Not only that, but there is also a dedicated field set aside for the preservation of this beautiful wild flower. But more on that later.
Field Verges
Years ago a lot more fields would have been full of tulips at this time of year. Now though, thanks to modern farming techniques, the tulips tend to survive in the verges between fields, as you can see here. However, if you look carefully, you can see the odd splash of red in the field on the right of this shot.

So let's take a look at this verge and see what all the fuss is about.
The Polemi Tulip
From above, you can see how colourful the tulips are. I love the contrast between black and red, with the yellow border.

We will see a lot of these during the course of this article.

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?
The Polemi Countryside
The last couple of blogs have been a bit intense, so we thought we would chill out and go for a stroll through the Polemi Countryside, and take a look at the flora, fauna, and interesting gypsum formations that can be found in our beautiful Cyprus scenery...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.
