The New Paphos Bus Station
Bird's Eye View
The construction has been on-off for a while. There were reports about problems with the land, but all that is a thing of the past.
This is how the work was reported in the press, back in 2020:
Work is underway to construct a transit station on the Tombs of the Kings Road in Paphos.
The work marks the start of the implementation of the project ‘Creation of a network of public transport and public hygiene infrastructures in Paphos and Geroskipou’, the municipality said.
The total expenditure will be €7.61m.
The Build-Operate-Transfer project includes the creation of a large modern bus terminal in the area “Karavella” and two transit and bus parking spaces, one on Tombs of the Kings road and the second in the parking lot of the archaeological park at Limanaki, Paphos harbour.
The project also includes the creation and installation of 196 ‘smart’ bus stops in Paphos and Geroskipou, and the creation of 30 modern public sanitation spaces.
The construction is expected to be completed within 18 months. The contractor will operate the system for five years.

Anyway, that is the latest on the new Bus Station. As I had the drone with me, I also took a couple of snapshots of our glorious city...

In this shot you can see where the bus station will be in relation to Kings Avenue Mall. You can also see the new tower / monstrous carbunkle (delete as you see fit) and if you look carefully you can see the new walkway.

And in this shot, you can see the Archaeological Park in more detail, including the lighthouse.
As to when the Bus Station will actually open, only time will tell.

Vintage Cyprus Buses
A year ago we had to visit the Department of Road Transport, off the Mesogi Road. While there I noticed three old-style Cyprus buses parked in the carpark. I returned a year later, and they were still there, so I thought I would photograph them for posterity. I also found some more modern friends of theirs, who's retirement was a bit less pleasant...
Last Bus To Simou
While you might meet one in use up in the mountains, most vintage buses in Cyprus have been retired from service. We featured a few that now reside in the Driving Test Centre car park, back in 2018. However, we were recently visiting Evretou, and spotted this beauty on our way back home to Polemi. The sun was beginning to set, and this lovely lady was looking majestic.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.
