Leaving Lockdown
Lockdown is coming to an end. Soon we will be able to leave the house without texting our intentions. There are many places we want to revisit, but for now, we shall content ourselves with a trip to a beach for a swim, and a takeaway kebab and pizza for the journey home...
Limni Hills
We've posted pictures from this little corner of the North Coast before. I don't think the crops have been so high before though.
Distant Scars
You can still see the hills that were ravaged in the fires four summers ago. If you get close up to them, you will be able to find green foliage returning, but from a distance they look as barren as ever.
Yesterday there were quite a number of forest fires throughout Cyprus. Please be careful when you are travelling. Don't throw any cigarettes, and take your rubbish home with you. All of it.
Limni Pier
The beach was empty. Social distancing will not be a problem here. We didn't even see the chap that runs up and down the coast here no matter how hot it is and say hello to him. Full marks to that man, he doesn't do a short run. He is always very friendly too.
Towards Polis
You can't sunbathe on beaches yet, but you can go for a swim, or have a nice walk along the shore. In June, the sunbathing rules may change, but to be honest, I can't remember the last time we sunbathed at the beach anyway. So it doesn't really affect us. We long ago decided it was easier just to turn up with a towel, have your swim, and then go somewhere else. No need to worry about deck chairs and sunbeds then. However, if you do like lazing on the beach, then hopefully in June you will be able to do so once again.
Distant Akamas
On the 21st, driving restrictions are due to be lifted. I foresee a trip or two to the Akamas then. That won't be our first destination though.

From Polis to Limni Pier
While the weather isn't quite what we would like yet, you can still have fun on an afternoon stroll. Today we visit the area between Polis Municipal Beach and Limni Pier. How does it look now that Spring is here?Related Pages

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.
