Pumpkin Power
As Paphos slowly and carefully emerges from lockdown, the shops are beginning to re-open. With that in mind, I went down to Pumpkin House, in the Old Town, to see how Evi and her pumpkin creations were bearing up.
Sign of the Times
Old Town is quiet at the moment, but the shops are beginning to re-open. Social distancing is the new norm though, for the time being at least.
Glove Up
Pumpkin House is no different.
Welcome!
But you will still get a warm welcome!
I had popped in to see Evi to take some panoramic shots, which will be published later. I took the ones you see here with my phone, so apologies for the quality.
Notice also, that I am saying "I" rather than "we". Given the social distancing rules that are in force, I came here alone, leaving Alex back in sunny Polemi.
The Main Spread
Every time I visited Pumpkin House it has been ever so slightly re-arranged, and new treasures have appeared.

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.
