Old Paphos Pumpkin Paradise
Ear Rings
While I was there I chatted to Evi about how business was going. They have been upgrading the car park by the Markideio Theatre for the last year or so, and she said that this has impacted her bottom line. People used to park there and walk past Pumpkin House in order to get to the rest of Old Town. This is no longer the case.
Also, the lack or Russian tourists has had a negative effect. I imagine a lot of the Art and Craft Shops have similar stories. So, if you like Pumpkin House, and the other businesses that are scattered around Old Town, get out and support them!
Wooly Friends
Finally, you can also get your hands on some lovely 3 ply wool now. You will see this if you visit craft markets. Evi is stocking this for a friend of hers.
How To Get There
I shall leave you with this map showing how to get there. And get there you should. As mentioned already, the parking at Markideio Theatre is currently being upgraded, so you should either park in the central car park, or the one to the north of Kennedy Square. In either case, it is just a short walk, and well worth it.

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.
