St Georges Beach and Monument
Chloraka has an interesting coastline that is often overlooked, perhaps because its lack of visibility from the main coast road. In this article, we explore the area around St George's Beach. Come with us as we try to fathom out what the monument is about!
View From The Carpark
We've been close to the beach here before. We wrote an article on St George's Chapel a while ago. That is just to the left of this picture, beyond the hotel (conveniently called St George's). To get to this carpark, you turn left from the coast road at the traffic lights by the chapel. Then, instead of taking another left to the chapel itself, stay on the road that turns to the right. You will soon be here.
View From Above
I had my drone with me today, and it wasn't too windy, so I was able to get some drone shots as well. This is looking towards the car park from the beach area.
Nice Undergrowth
You can't beat a good bit of fennel. That's the long plants you can see in a row. In truth though, I was actually photographing the clouds in this shot. The whispy ones look like a mult-dimensional pheonix flying through the air.
Park Up Top
Somebody had parked on the rocks, but I wouldn't recommend it. Park in the area above. As you can see, there are a lot of nooks and crannies here. Also, there is a path that runs from right to left and goes all the way from Paphos Castle to Sandy Beach in Lemba. One day I will do a walking film of it.
Information
Ok, so according to this sign, St Georges Beach is actually called Alitzi.

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.
