Paphos Life

This is the first in a small series of films designed to help you navigate your way around Paphos in a car. In this film we start at Kings Avenue Mall and head towards the airport along the Dual Carriageway. We turn left at the roundabout up to the Stadium and Motorway Roundabouts. Here we turn left...

I am English. I prefer to worry about actual problems though, rather than this nonsense.

The thing I find funniest about this is that the people moaning the loudest always harp on about other people being snowflakes, but they are the ones being precious on this occasion. I honestly couldn't care either way as long as they win a bloody tournament at least once in my lifetime. I was born ...

Tell me about it! When the tractor had pulled us clear I could see how little digging I had actually done in all that time too.

In Central Paphos behind the main Papantoniou's Supermarket you will find the Park of Colour. It is just above Kennedy Square, and not by the Sea Front. If you go looking for it there you have got the wrong Paps. Originally opened last year, I returned on Carnival Day to have a look around while I w...

Evretou is an abandoned village on the banks of the Evretou Reservoir. When conditions are right, you can get some lovely reflection shots of the ruins in the calm waters. It is definitely worth taking a detour to have a look. Just be careful where you drive! Read the article and chat about it below...

Oh it still has plenty of character, just of a more modern type.

You know the routine...

Green Monday is a special day in Cyprus - a Bank Holiday where everybody goes out to the Countryside, has a bbq and flies kites. In this film we take you on a guided tour of Paphos from Agios Georgios to Geroskipou Beach, soaking up the atmosphere as we visit a number of landmarks along the way. We ...

Rain forecast for tomorrow, apparently.

Today was Green Monday, and Cyprus was out having barbeques and flying kites. We drove the length of Southern Paphos to see what the locals were up to.

The film is very good too.

In the Second Part of our Carnival Film Coverage we use the 360 camera to record the procession. I then selected a fixed view to make a film that will be viewable on all devices. I will publish the full 360 version at a later date if people want the ability to control the camera for themselves. A no...

It's Carnival Day in Paphos! A great turnout meant that it was a noisy and vibrant affair. Spirits were high and the squeezy foam was plentiful. In the first film we show you a street-level view of the scene, as I walk the length of the Carnival Parade. In part 2 we will have an elevated view courte...

I've been out of the country for a week, so thought I should re-acquaint myself with the Sea Front and Harbour at the earliest opportunity. Let's take a stroll and see what is happening...

In this film we explore the Golf Resorts near Aphrodite's Birthplace. We start in Ha Potami, which is the hamlet next to Secret Valley Golf Course. From there we drive to Aphrodite Hills Golfing Resort. We were there recently and concentrated on the Western Plateau. In this film we head to the East....

You shouldn't be using a UK EHIC card if you live here. And that article is from the US, advertising an insurance company. Regarding your list, you will need to inform the various utility companies. For electricity, for instance, you should take a meter reading on the day you leave. That sort of thi...

In this drive we start at the Car Park by the Harbour and drive through Kato Paphos to see how the renovations are progressing. Then we head up to Old Town and Mesogi Road. There is commentary throughout so do make sure you have the sound turned up!

I met a couple of cars coming back, but the biggest problem was some idiot who had erected a tripod in the middle of the road and was taking pictures.

A couple of months ago I drove to the Blue Lagoon on the Akamas, as I wanted to fly my drone. Unfortunately, the heavens opened making drone flying impossible. Well, it is possible, but the camera gets blocked by rain. So the other day I returned, on a gloriously bright sunny day. The road was a lot...
