The Gateways To Paphos Revisited
9. B7 By Day
You get odd looks standing in the middle of a dual carriageway taking pictures during the day.
Victim of Street Lights
You get even weirder looks at night though!
10. The ISOP By Day
Now, there is a mystery surrounding these gateways. You probably haven't spotted it though.
ISOP By Night
This one is probably the best one to see at night, because there are virtually no street lights about.
Now, on to that mystery...
The Paphos Gateway Mystery
The mystery is this: why are some of the gateways designed to be back to front? They haven't simply been placed back to front, because if you look at the tops of the white columns, they slope in the opposite direction. Also, the designs have a definite front and back. If you look at the middle picture, this shows the reverse of one of the designs. There is no lighthouse or Paphos logo.
So, somebody must have made a concious effort to design four of the gateways slightly differently from the other six.
Does anybody know why?

New art installations are being erected at the ten entrances to Paphos Town. The monuments have been designed by a group of Paphos architects and are made of concrete and corten weathering steel. They depict the letter 'P' (π) in Greek, the first letter of Paphos, and so have been crafted in this shape.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.
