Latest Cyprus Travel Update From Old Paphos - 24th April 2026


Today's Travel Update comes from Paphos Old Town. Starting at the Soon-to-open Documentation Centre at Kennedy Square, I walk down Makarios III Avenue into the heart of Ktima, as it is known locally. There's a fair amount of building work going on at the moment and I also noticed that the Girl And The Hoop statue had reappeared. How long has that been back? I briefly visit the Indoor Market before finishing in Moutallos Car Park near some cats.

Cyprus 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.
