The Paphos to Polis Motorway - Part 2
Published 3rd of October, 2019
Another Bridge
Down there another bridge is planned. The motorway will run to the left of that house you can see in the middle of the shot.
Lower View
We've come a bit lower down, to show you exactly where the bridge will be.
And Finally...
We are on the home stretch now!
A lot of the next shots are taken some way from the road. This is because the area is hilly and provides excellent vantage points. Indeed, our first shots come from the top of a mountain. That's how hilly the area is.
Ok, so the area is no Ben Nevis, but if you get to the top of the hill we drove up, there is actually a tourist information sign calling it something like Polemi Mountain.
On Top Of Old Smokey
This is the view from the roof of the water tank on top of the "mountain". You can see the B7 winding up the hill towards Tsada. The bridge goes across that, and there is another bridge on the right of this shot.

The Paphos to Polis Motorway - Part 1
A new motorway is coming to Paphos. It will link the existing A6 motorway to the North West coast of the island, reduce travel time, and aid congestion on the B7. That's the plan, anyway. Alternatively, it will destroy precious natural areas and be an expensive waste of money. We decided to take a look at the proposed route for ourselves, so now at least you will know exactly where the motorway will go. Possibly.

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.
