Paphos Seafront Kataklysmos Celebrations
Strange Attractors
Another harbour staple is the caricature artist. The universal appeal of Mr Bean never ceases to amaze me. Especially when you consider how long it was since a new Bean aired. Mr Bean is everywhere though. I remember travelling in remote parts of Vietnam and Thailand, and seeing Mr Bean played on a portable black and white TV in a tiny bar. I guess there are advantages to silent movies!
Cyprus Delights
We have now arrived at the larger stalls. Munchies are available on several stands.
Challenge
Would he be able to cope if I told him my name was "Hieronymous Schwarzenegger"?
It isn't, by the way.
More Snacks
Now, the festival runs for nearly all of the Sea Front, and there is a fair amount of repetition in stalls. So I am not going to photograph every one, or we will be here all night. So I have published a selection of shots from the length of the walkway.
Soutzoukos
These sweets are made from Grape Juice and almonds. They are immensely popular in Cyprus, but I prefer the similarly popular peanut brittle.

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.
