Tipsy Turtle - Review
Toad In The Hole Goes Large

This was what I ordered: Giant Yorkshire Pudding with Three Cumberland Sausages, Vegetables, Mash and Gravy.
Yes, I know I said I pined for a Cornish Pasty, but I bottled out, and went for this instead. You see, I have high expectations when it comes to pasties, and there is nothing worse than being let down by a sub-par meat treat. Before I run the risk of pasty disappointment, I thought I should try something a bit less significant. By which I mean, I could handle a duff yorkie better than a duff pasty.
It tastes as nice as it looks, especially when I had poured gravy over it. Unusually, I was actually given a gravy boat with a decent amount of gravy in it. A lot of places seem to think you only need a thimble-full, but I like to baptise my sossies good and proper. I cannot tell you what the cauliflower was like, because as far as I am concerned, cauliflower is food of the Devil. I cannot abide it at all. Fortunately Alex loves it so I was able to offload it easily enough. It's the small things like this that make a Marriage.

Scampi And Chips

Alex opted for the Scampi, and said it was delicious. As you can see, you get proper Cyprus Chips here. Nothing beats them.
Sheftalia

Finally, our daughter opted for sheftalia. It didn't come with any salad but you can order one should you want some veg. The onion rings were nice, however!
Beaten

I couldn't eat all of mine, and had to leave some of the potato. And a pea.
Menu and Verdict

This is the full menu, though they also do specials such as Full English Breakfast etc. We enjoyed our food. It wasn't to the standard of what you would get at, say, Muse, for instance. However, a meal for three, including three drinks, came to less than 40 euros, so it is at least 50% cheaper. There are other places to eat along this stretch of road, and you should visit them all if you can. But you certainly won't be disappointed with the food should you choose Tipsy Turtle, and you will be pleasantly surprised at the price. And next time, I shall definitely have a pasty.

The Letymbou Tavern
Village taverns are one of Cyprus' hidden jewels. So when somebody on our chat group was asking for the best ribs in Paphos, we immediately responded with Letymbou Tavern. But then it hit us. We hadn't been there since before Lockdown. We couldn't recommend a place we hadn't eaten in for that long. So with that in mind, we set off for Sunday Lunch. I was honour bound to have the ribs to check they were still my favourite.
Tis Pizzas Mezeklikia
Eating out in Cyprus needn't cost an arm and a leg, especially if you go native. And guess what? Cypriots love pizza. They also like souvlaki, and jumbo pork chops, so a place that offers all three is definitely worth a visit. Join us, as we feast on some top-notch nosebag at one of our favourite Polis taverns...Good Pages To Visit

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.
