Paphos Seafront and Bar Street Renovations
Azure Answers
However, as I walked up here with my film camera, the chap you can see dressed in black in the middle of the shot started to wave at me, in a friendly manner. So I stopped for a chat. I asked him what they were doing behind the fences, and from what he said, it sounds like they might be installing something for pedestrians. It would provide shade, too. Watch the film and hear it for yourself.
Wooden Bar
Anyway, I was in a hurry, as I was late for an appointment, so I couldn't chat for long. I continued my walk up the sea front, as I was curious to see if they had removed all the signs now. Last weekend they had left the top area alone.
Incidentally, that fencing is now complete. There is no place open for you to walk through, so you cannot, for example, visit the Boy and the Fish at the moment.
Castle View
I turned to take this shot. It is funny how the same scene can look so different compared to where you are in relation to the sun.
Temporary Road
At the top end of the Sea Front there is now a temporary road. This is a bit ironic considering that it was so recently pedestrianised. What you are in fact looking at is the temporary exit route from Papantoniou's Car Park. They have ripped up the road behing Paps now, and to get to it you have to park in the carpark behind. There will be a film showing the route posted tomorrow (11/3).

In the third part of our look around Kato Paphos we turn the spotlight on Bar Street. Loved and loathed in equal measure, the area has certainly seen better days. Indeed, if you visit during the day, as we do in this article, you could be forgiven for thinking that it is closed. But there is still plenty of life there, as you shall see...

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.
