Ivis Maliotou Park Update
Beneath The Lookout
It occurs to me that it would be helpful to show you what the park used to look like. At the foot of the blog, you will see a link to Part 7 of our 2021 Old Paphos Tour. We walk through the park then.
Modernisation
It is certainly being brought up-to-date. For obvious reasons they haven't planted the new flora yet, so it looks a bit bare at the moment.
Chapel View
It will be interesting to what improvements they will have made to the chapel itself. I do hope that these walls will eventually be adorned with foliage though. If they are left like that they will be a magnet for vandals wanting to spray their tags everywhere. Who knows, perhaps they will get some proper murals commissioned? That would be pretty amazing, and also deter the taggers.
Road Closed
You cannot drive up the road to Kennedy Square at the moment, but you can walk up it easily enough.
More Improvements
The alleys and roads on the other side of the main throughfare have not escaped the renovators' attention.
