Paphos Life

Interesting Max. Wouldn't have given this item a second glance were it not for your post. Have asked my daughter to grab me one. Is this just for use with a BBQ...or an indoor oven as well? Difficult to tell from the blurb. As the transmitter unit is made from plastic you have to be careful with op...

Cooking everyday at home except Saturdays, I thought the offer this week at Lidl's for an wireless cooking thermometer is exactly what I needed. For a surprising low price of 12.99 Euro you get quite a lot. On the display you can choose to measure: beef, lamb, pork, veal, turkey, chicken, burger, fi...

Very nice formation of G....m, in which village in Paphos district I took that pic?

Nope, in many areas in the east of Paphos and towards the Ezousa/Xeros valleys is on top of the dust now the heavy smoke of the Marathounda landfill fire..... https://pafospress.com/%cf%80%ce%b1%cf%86%ce%bf%cf%83-%ce%ba%ce%b1%ce%af%ce%b3%ce%bf%ce%bd%cf%84%ce%b1%ce%b9-%ce%b5%cf%80%ce%af-%cf%8e%cf%81%...

Whats about if the cam position is fixed slightly to the side instead of straight, to be able to see more of the countryside instead mainly the road...?

Max- in your OP, you mentioned a monument. Okay, now we realize that we're viewing the mighty Xeros valley and Sinti Monastery, is there something else we should be looking for, like a monument, please? AL :? These are all monuments, Alan, https://mycyprusinsider.com/cyprus-uncovered/your-insider-g...

No thistles here, but a reminder that a visit to the ancient Monastery of Sinti is worth to spend the time there before it is getting too hot...it is not far from Paphos, got the Europa Nostra Award and is under protection of UNESCO. After reading my blog from last year perhaps you decide to drive t...

Yes you are right Dominic, there is plenty of gypsum around the area, that's why my theory is, as mentioned already, it is a gypsum roasting kiln to use the material to change it into building materials or extract minerals. (read my earlier post!) I sink holes don't look that accurate.

Max

Why not? Look at the caves from Hellenic time at Agios Georgios, one of my blogs https://www.paphoslife.com/blog/cape_drepanum and the many caves everywhere one can find, also partly vertical... and as Gypsum is one of the softest materials I believe it could be done. To built the pyramids in Egypt ...

In my opinion the very deep hole could have been an ancient gypsum roasting kiln to extract certain minerals or to produce building materials... copy from Cyprus geological heritage: "Gypsum has been used as a construction material for centuries. Archaeological excavations in the western part o...

As the planned highway to Polis is exactly in this area of your video, the countryside will look very different after they finished the job - if it ever happens. Here the Open Street map where one can see what is planned... http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=yeroskipou%2C%20paphos#map=14/34.7...

Very soon all the green will be gone, so better hurry up to enjoy our nice Paphos countryside. This view is towards which valley and monument?

Jon, after crossing the bridge over the highway you take the first road to the left and after ca 200 m the second to the right, another 100 m then two times left and you are in front of the garage left hand side of the road.

You have to go on the highway towards Limassol and just after exit Konia the next one which is sign posted Anatolia industrial area. My BMW garage Pilakoutas is also there...but not that easy to find the first time.

Wishful thinking .... Accu weather shows only nice weather with reduced temperature
