Sodap Beach Update
There was recently a bit of a kerfuffle in the press about the new cafe that is being built at the SODAP beach in Paphos. We couldn't help notice that the pictures used all showed the beach from one angle. So we took a New Year's Eve trip down to the coast, to get a clearer picture. Now you can judge for yourself just how much of an encroachment this cafe will be.
Behind The Hoardings
We parked at the municipal carpark and walked up the coast path towards Paphos. The hotels to the right all seem closed now, and barrier tape was threaded amongst the palm trees to prevent people accidently wandering into the hotel grounds.
Semi-Social Distancing
There were a fair number of masks in evidence, but they were by no means everywhere. As you can see though, the area wasn't exactly crowded.
Vrysoudia B Beach
During the tourist season this beach is lovely and clean. Every Winter tons of seaweed get dumped on it from the Med, and every Spring it gets gathered up. It is worth noting that the presence of all this seaweed indicates that the waters themselves are very clean. So this is actually a good sign, provided they get cleared up.
Distant Castle
When I first moved to Cyprus I went swimming in the sea on New Years Eve, or Day. I can't remember which to be honest. That was four years ago. Since then, I have become acclimatised to the Cyprus weather, and I wouldn't dream of going swimming in it now.
SODAP Sands
Ok, so let's have a look at the SODAP Beach.

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.
