St Georges Beach and Monument
Published 10th of March, 2022
Walkway Scenes
On the wall by the walkway there are three stone pictures, protected from the elements by glass panels. This was one of them. It depicts General George Grivas, leader of EOKA during the 50s, and one of Cyprus' war heroes.
The Statue
Apparently this was where he landed. For more information, see the Georgios Grivas Wikipedia Page.
Not Convinced
I like most of the statues and sculptures I find on my travels around Cyprus, but this bird's nest doesn't do anything for me I'm afraid.
Which Do You Prefer?
The statue of the General is a different matter entirely though. Very nice.
Hotel Grounds
It's time to head back to the car now. I shall return via the coast path through the hotel grounds.

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.
