Paphos Kataklysmos Celebrations
Shooting Stall
There were also a number of stalls with pellet guns. I presume you had to shoot at the little red men, but I would be tempted to take a potshot at the unicorn next to them.
And Finally...
This was the final stall. Here you can get candy floss, corn on the cob, popcorn, or some truly terrifying purple and pink dangly toys. Well the candy floss was nice anyway.

So that was the Sea Front. They had a nice variety of stalls. But that is not all that is happening. There is a now a published list of events, which I shall reproduce below.

The Brief Pelican
On our way back to the car we met this friendly chap. I have to say, it is a very happy pelican.
So that is Paphos and Kataklysmos. If you don't fancy driving up to a very crowded Larnaca, give Paphos Harbour a go.

MapPaphos Kataklysmos Celebrations
Kataklysmos is a big deal in Cyprus. The whole island celebrates with water festivals, traditional events and numerous other activities. Traditionally the biggest celebrations occur in Larnaca, though every town and city does their bit. Paphos is having its own celebrations, and the Sea Front is teaming with stalls selling allsorts. Over the next few days there are also performances to be enjoyed at Paphos Castle. We went down to the Sea Front to join in the fun.

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.
