Aphrodites Rock B6 Road Repairs
In 2019 a section of the B6 road near Aphrodite's Rock was closed for repairs. Since then, in order to get to Pissouri, you need to take the motorway. We are happy to report that repair-work to the road is well underway. We took our drone so we could film what challenges the workers were having to overcome.
Nice View
We begin our journey high above Aphrodite's Rock. It looks as stunning as ever, and there are a fair number of tourists about now. Hope they are having a nice time.
Non-Ideal Conditions
This was my second attempt at filming the roadworks in as many days. The first film I made was accidently deleted from the memory card. So I came back the next day to film it again. I almost went away again empty handed, because there was quite a bit of wind blowing about.
Men At Work
However, given that I was flying the drone out over the sea, and there were no nearby obstacles to worry about, I went ahead, to see what I could film.
Work In Progress
They appear to be stripping the existing tarmac and surface away at the moment. I wouldn't like to do that. It would feel like standing on a branch that I was sawing off a tree.
Now A Major Film
Here's the film I made. It is less than 2 minutes long, so go on, have a watch.

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.
