Paphos Life

Yes, it is their turn now to morph into Sklavenitis. A lot of the inner part had been empty for a while.

It's a hot one today (well, yesterday) and I am having a walk along Paphos Promenade and the Sea Front. In this section, I walk from Bania Restaurant at the Municipal Baths down to the Harbour. At the Castle you can see where they are getting things ready for OPAP Paphos 3×3 2025. This is a weekend-...

In this week's 360 Friday we start by driving down the B7 from Sklavenitis to Papantoniou's Supermarket. From there we turn right and do a loop around Old Town. After that we rejoin the main road through Kennedy Square and down to Kings Avenue Mall. Then its a a quick tour of Kato Paphos and Bar Str...

This was a nice cover of God Only Knows done by loads of stars about 10 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqLTe8h0-jo And if you want to know why so many musicians rate that song so highly, this is a nice breakdown of why it is so special: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NaJsJfPD0k Inciden...

Let's take a drive around the lovely village of Mandria, to the East of Paphos. We shall start by admiring the murals under the motorway before going through the centre of the village. We then head to the beach area before returning to the centre and finishing at the new Alpha Mega. Along the way I ...

Presumably it will be morphing into Sklavenitis at the same time.

Sad news.

Here's happy in this film.

What amazed me was that I was actually able to find the pictures I took of the wind farm before it was assembled. They were in a huge folder of pictures I took before moving here, called CYPRUS. One day I will catalogue them properly. One day...

In Part 2 of our not-quite-kendal-mint-cake-requiring yomp along Tomb of the Kings Road, we begin at the iconic Paphos Football Club Shop on the TOKR, and head up the road back towards the Mall. We check out numerous bars and restaurants along the way, as well as the main Bus Station. Link to film: ...

Now this is a big one! We drive all the way from Paphos (well, the Alpha Mega near the Airport) to Chantara Falls in the Troodos Mountains. Along the way I chat to you about allsorts including the wind farm, Archimandrita and Dora. We also have some music for when I run out of steam. Speaking of Dor...

A few years ago we visited the abandoned village of Trozena, at the top end of the Diarizos Valley. Other than the church, the buildings were in a state of crumbling decay. We recently drove past again, and got a bit of a shock. Come found out why! Read the article and chat about it below...   troze...

This is a request film from somebody who wanted to see the road between Kings Avenue Mall and Tomb of the Kings. It is normally a very noisy road (for filmed walking tours) so I waited until it was early on Sunday Morning on a Bank Holiday Weekend. Now we can walk past such delights as Fat Mama's an...

The Kataklysmos Festival runs in Cyprus every year, signifying, among other things, the Pentecost, Whit Monday, and that 50 days have passed since Easter. Translated as "The Flood" it also has roots in the Old Testament and Greek Mythology. To you and me, it means fun stuff happens down at...

He nudged the camera a bit, so the castle is at an angle now. I can correct that from here though.

Accompanying film: Ever since the Sea You Beach Bar closed there has been speculation as to the site's future. We can now confirm that it is to become a new restaurant, called Sense By The Beach. Run by the people who own the popular Andria Steak House on Coral Bay Strip, the new restaurant will be ...

This film starts where last week's 360 film finishes; in the village of Droushia. From here we head back to Ineia before following the road down to Androlikou via Pittokopos. After a drive through the quarry we proceed towards Prodromi. Once we hit the coast road we turn left and finish with a drive...

For decades the Art College at Lemba has formed a central part of the village, appealing to both artists and tourists alike. Since the death of its Creator - Stass Paraskos- it's future has been in some doubt. Until recently the area was fenced off, as it was developed into a "Cultural Village&...

Oh and the digger was down in Mesogi again today.

It was a couple of years ago now.

There have been a lot of rumours as to what is going to happen at the site of the former Sea You Beach Bar in Potima Bay. Today we can put an end to them and tell you about the new restaurant which will soon be appearing there. Read the article and chat about it below...   sense-comes-to-potima-bay_...
