The Polemi Countryside
Published 9th of October, 2019
The Heart of Polemi
Over to Alex for a bit. Let's see what she has been snapping. This rock looks a bit like a heart.
Stick Grasshopper
This curious fellow is a master of camouflage. I published a photograph of one a couple of years ago, near Pissouri. I have yet to identify what it actually is though.
Bigger Pricks
These thistles are more painful than the thorns, but easier to avoid.
Autumnal Blossoms
Sunrays on Rocks
I like this one. Normally I am not much of a fan of suns rays in photos; they get in the way of the picture. I think this one captures the country scene well though.

Polemi Sunset
Polemi isn't known for it's sunsets, well, to us at least. They are normally the domain of the coastal areas of Paphos, and Max's house. However, this evening, the Gods smiled on us, and granted us a lovely sunset. The photos can provide a brief, fitting epilogue to our last blog, Polemi Sunrise.
Polemi Rain
The winter storms are back with a vengeance. Polemi had 46mm of rain overnight, and it showed this morning. Our webcam presented a sorry picture, but I was curious to see what was happening in other parts of the village...

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.
