Thalassa Hotel
Thalassa Hotel in Coral Bay closed around December 2019 for a refurbishment. It hasn't opened since, though there have been numerous rumours about its fate. The other week I was in the area so decided to give it a closer look. Let me take you on a tour...
Main Entrance
This hotel has featured in a number of our recent articles. We saw it in our look at Coral Bay, and it also popped up in our tour of the Archaeological Site which is next to it. Indeed it was after I went there that I decided to have a look around here.
Definitely Closed
The last actual reviews I could find were from late 2019. By all accounts it was a lovely place to stay, but they closed for renovations.
They never re-opened, but nobody seems to know why. Was it something to do with COVID?
Restaurant
Normally when I have been near the hotel there has been a security guard present, to prevent people from doing any damage. Today however, the hotel seemed to be the starting location for a Cyprus Cross Country Run. You may remember, it was in four parts, and the first part went from here up towards Sea Caves and Agios Georgios. So I was able to have a look around the grounds.
To The Pool
So lets go and see what's around back.

Agios Georgios is a charming village on the edge of the Akamas. It has a lovely harbour and an interesting archaeological site. The perfect place for a nice hotel you would think.

The Crown Resort Horizon Hotel in Coral Bay is looking a bit under the weather at the moment. Presumably a victim of the COVID crisis, it will certainly need a bit of TLC before it opens again to the public. Last sunday we took a look around...
Aloe Hotel Tour
There have been a few hotels close down in Paphos over recent years. COVID had a lot to answer in that respect. I visited one of them recently, as somebody asked me to check it out. This one - The Hotel Aloe - is quite topical, as it is right next to the new tower that is being built. Come see what we found...
The Abandoned Rancho Appaloosa
I feel like apologising for the size of this blog, as it contains over 70 photos. However, this is a lovely place if you like urban exploring, and I felt that if I cut down the picture count I couldn't do it justice. I appreciate that it might not be for everybody though, so the first page contains spoiler photos of what to expect. If you find them interesting, then continue to the main blog!Related Pages

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.
