Kato Pyrgos Harbour and Beaches - Cyprus May 2022


Kato Pyrgos is a lovely part of Cyprus, but overlooked by most tourists. We aim to rectify that by making it the focus of our third Road Trip eBook. In this film we drive past the major beaches and through the harbour. The first beaches are sandy, whereas the final ones from the campsite onwards are pebbly. The two most popular beaches are Omega and the one next to the harbour. 

During August they are packed with Cypriots out enjoying the sun. So why not come and join them?

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.
