Lighthouse Beach, New Archaeology At Kefalos and the Elysium Hotel


In today's film I start at Lighthouse Beach and walk along the boardwalk to the Kefalos Beach Holiday Village. After that I take a look at the building site next to it. You may recall that they had uncovered lots of tombs and it had become an Archaeological Site. Work is still progressing and I film some historians while they are out digging. I finish with a look at the Elysium Hotel Grounds.

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.
