Postcard From Cyprus
Last week we also visited Nicosia. It had been at least five years since our last visit to Ledra Street. We must have a short break there as we would like to see things in more detail than just on a day visit.
All the shops on Ledra Street were open and occupied. There are lots of interesting side streets as well with hidden tavernas and coffee shops. Streets which were derelict last time we visited are now thriving.
One thing we did notice was how competitive the prices for food and drink were on the Greek Cypriot side of the crossing. Last time we visited, lots of business people were crossing to have there lunch. Almost every eatery had signs of special offers and only tourists and a few shoppers were crossing.
We were very impressed with Ledra Street and the city did seem to be buzzing with the coffee shops full.
We also enjoyed a trip to Latchi Harbour.
Mystery Boats
Can anyone tell me anything about the history of these two boats, which had police confiscation notices on them?

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.
