Park of Colours Opening In Weeks
Last year work started on a new park in Paphos. The Park of Colours is nearly complete, and will be opening within weeks. There was an announcement in the press about this yesterday. Coincidentally enough, I was in the area so saw for myself what progress had been made.
Artist's Impression
When it is finished, the area behind the main Paps in Paphos will look like this! The Park Of Colours is an ambitious project costing nearly 4 million euros. Started in March last year, it will include the following attractions:
- cafe
- skate park
- tennis court
- Botanical Garden
- climbing wall, 3.6 meters high
- basketball court
- children's playground
- small soccer field
- several small squares
- open-air exhibition space
- sanitary zone
- parking for 83 cars, including for people lots for disabled people.
Small Football Pitch
First on my visit, I parked in the area between the Old Town and Paps. This let me get a close look at some of the new features.
Basketball
I imagine these are going to be very popular, especially in the cooler summer evenings.
Floorplan
I found this floorplan online. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but you can see its extent. Paps is at the bottom left, and Old Town will be above and further to the left. It is worth noting that the park is self-contained. There is no road running through it, so the shortcut you used to be able to take will no longer exist.
To The Right Of Paps
Next I parked in Pap's somewhat shrunken carpark, and walked around the back. On the way I could see this construction on what used to be the road that went behind the supermarket. I'm not sure what they are building, those pillars suggest to me it might be a car park of some description.

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.
