Paphos Carnival 2020
Paphos Carnival 2020 has been and gone, and a good time was had by all. The weather was sunny, the noise was deafening, the outfits were outstanding, and Paphos had a party. These are our shots...
In The Beginning...
The carnival was due to start on Sunday at 3PM. It had been put back a day because of bad weather predictions, so with half an hour to go people were eager to get started. The event, as ever, is great fun to be a part of. There are a few marshals but they are there to help rather than keep the peace. The crowd are typically Cypriot; good-natured and out to have fun.
To The Start
The carnival will start at the Almyra and come down this hill. It then progresses along the sea front to the Archaeological Park Car Park. It is good fun watching the costume-clad participants as they march up the hill towards their floats.
For The Kids

Here We Go
Near enough on the dot of three, these ladies appeared, and the carnival began...

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.
