Troodos Winter Wonderland 2024
It's been snowing up in the mountains, and the Troodos is bathed in a blanket of snow. Let's take a wander through the hills, and also see what's happening at Troodos Square...
Sun Valley Ski Centre
Getting to the Troodos Mountains from Paphos is fairly straightforward. You take the motorway to Limassol and come off at the junction signposted Troodos. The road you are after is the B8. Keep on this and you will eventually get to Troodos Square. On the way up you will drive through Trimiklini. There is an Alpha Mega there which is a great place to stop for provisions. There are also loos next to it behind the Coffee Shop.
Snowboarders' Delight
I arrived at the ski slope around 9:30AM. Already the carpark was filling up. If you park here, spare a thought for other people, and don't block anybody in. Also, park with a view to being able to get out easily.
Ski School
At the resort you can get ski passes and book lessons. There is also a cafe here for snacks.
I'm not sure what this little shed structure was for, but it seemed nice enough.
Drag Lift Number 1
Once you have cleared the ski resort and the assorted sheds, the area levels out. In the distance you can see a drag lift, which never seems to be operational. There is another one which gets used to the left of this shot.

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.
