Paphos Life

Before Paphos was at its current location it was sited where you will now find Kouklia. Indeed, there are probably remains bigger than the main Paphos Archaeological Park under the fields in the surrounding countryside, waiting to be discovered. If you would like to see what they have already found,...

Already started!

Oh dear, that is sad news. Thanks Steve for doing the detective work. Just a shame it had to have such a sad outcome. Still, he got to tell his story before he passed. He contacted me in March asking for permission to republish it on a new blog he was starting. I of course said yes, but unfortunatel...

In light of the sad news of Devil's passing, I am bumping this so that people can remember his final article.

In today's film we see that they are still hard at work along Poseidonos Avenue. The Hotel side is finished but you still have to "walk the plank" to navigate your way to some of the bars and shops on the other side. They are making progress though. Outside Pingouinos they were doing a lot...

Improving the roundabout outside the Strip, and the road up to Peyia.

Nothing beats Paphos Harbour on a sunny day. The seagulls are getting less territorial too, so our drone was able to survey the scene relatively unmolested, apart from a nosey crow. Ocean Basket is coming on a treat!

Today Coral Bay Strip revealed itself to the waiting public for the first time since being renovated. I was there with the camera to take in the scene. Amazingly, all the trees had arrived since Thursday. There is still a bit of landscaping to finish and the odd snag, but it was a pleasure to walk u...

On my way to report on the ongoing renovation of Poseidonos Avenue, I walked up bar Street to see how that was looking. Why not see for yourself?

I was down at the Sea Front today and adjusted the brightness again. Last time I was wearing sunglasses so the image was a bit bright.

Looks nicer now. This was from this evening.

We start today's film at the Lidl Roundabout, and drive down the B7 to Kennedy Square. From there we head to Kings Avenue Mall and the Sea Front before driving through Kato Paphos and up Bar Street. We double back on ourselves to take a quick look at Poseidonos Avenue, before driving past Fabrica Hi...

Hmmm, it could be a mundane reason. Without giving his private email address away, it was uncommon and not one of the usual providers (hotmail etc). He obviously had his own domain registered. That domain is now available. This would indicate that he stopped renewing it. Every domain name, like paph...

I sent him a PM a while ago and it hasn't been opened.

Wow that story took a nasty turn for the worse.

I am amazed you didn't photograph them though!

Here'a the article that goes with it:

The President of the Republic of Cyprus is due to officially open Coral Bay Strip on May 25th at 10AM. Prior to that, I popped down to have a look to see how the work was progressing. This film was recorded on the morning of the 23rd.

In this film we start at Lighthouse Beach and drive up to Coral Bay. Along the way we list all the hotels we pass, and there are quite a few. This isn't a definitive guide. We shall wait for the Strip to re-open before we do that. However, if you want to know what your options are between Paphos and...

Ah Corallia Beach. In a fight between this and its neighbour, Coral Bay Beach, who do you think would win? Both have their supporters, and both are lovely places to go for a swim and a spot of sunbathing. Mind you, Corallia Beach does have a nice little harbour next to it. Honestly though, you are s...

That probably means it is designed to be used on a mobile phone.

Paphos Sea Front is gorgeous when the sun is shining. Take a stroll along the walkway and soak up the scenery.
