Vardas Beach Area
The coastline around Paphos has a number of hidden gems. I recently flew the drone around the Vardas Beach Area and thought I would share with you what it saw.
Mystery Piles
Vardas Beach and Restaurant can be found just off the coast road to Kissonerga from Paphos. To get to the coastal area you should park in the area above the tavern. If you are going to eat there you can use their carpark. Otherwise, you should park in the area above it.
I wanted to find a secluded place to fly the drone, as I respect people's privacy and don't want to be too intrusive. So I walked through the restaurant area and past the beach, before settling on these rocks. Somebody had been there before me and made all these little stone piles.
Sandy Beach
Had I continued along the beach I would have ended up at Sandy Beach. There is no official path along this part of the coast though, for now at least.
Towards Paphos
Beyond Sandy Beach though you have more luck. The coast path runs from there all the way down to the harbour, with a couple of breaks. The exact status of sections of the path seems to change on a daily basis.
Vardas Beach
So now let's turn our attention to Vardas Beach itself. It has a small strip of sand centred within a rocky bay. Behind the beach you will find a decent number of sunbeds.
I couldn't see any Lifeguard Station here, do do bear that in mind if you go swimming here.

A new Coast Path has been constructed in Kissonerga. It provides a convenient way to access the little beaches dotted along the rocky coastline and is a great place to go for a stroll, especially as the weather is now getting a bit cooler. Come with us as we see what it has to offer.
Sandy Beach, Lemba is now Blue Flag!
Sandy Beach in Lemba has long been a locals' favourite. It is likely to get a bit busier in future because it was recently awarded Blue Flag status. So we went down to prepare a new entry for our Beaches directory. Come and see what the fuss is about.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.
