Paphos Life

Our current wooden fence is almost 20 years old and needs replacing. It has been repaired and repainted over the years but has really come to the end of its life. Recommendations for someone to take away the old fence, and replace with a new one would be gratefully received. Thanks Cyprus Tree Serv...

Lovely ride, Thank you Dominic, I watched it twice and found out that switching to the YouTube version plays much better and without interruptions on my computer. Very nice sound tracks as well and one reminds me of good old times in the early 70's when I used to go to pubs playing mainly blues...( ...

Exactly, same happened to me....

All good for the Cypriot economy. As it happens i was just booking a flight for this weekend and noticed on the Paphos airport website that for the remainder of today and all of tomorrow there are 26 flight Arrivals. 1 from easyJet and 25 from Ryanair, the amount of people Ryanair are connecting wi...

Such a wonderful picture Max. Thanks ! Glad you like it Louise. To get the sun reflection like that is a bit tricky, but this is the reason I published that pic. As it was December and the sun very low in the sky, I got quite an amount of photos with that sunstar at lunchtime. :D https://up.picr.de...

After some rainy days here in Paphos don't be too depressed.... we need the rain for the hot summer coming .... So I went through my photo gallery, while is was pissing down, to tidy up a bit and found that image from Timi Fish Tavern, which straight cheered me up https://up.picr.de/46948354ic.jpg Max

It looks like that climate change has also reached the Troodos high peaks this year, as the temperature up there is much too high that this little snow from Saturday stays any longer....

Not enough for skiing and already melting snow by 4c a day later..

Late, but finally the first snow arrived at Troodos peaks, source: meteoblue

No, it will not as the area where I found the Citrines they missed.
Thanks for your interest anyhow. A lot of trivial posts on here makes me wonder what people like to read these days....

Lovely views of the old town which one gets only with a drone specially when the speed is like that. Impressive the dominant position of the Muse you can see( at 2.30 m). I wonder what building was there in old Roman times....

22c in our house with just the 1 aircon unit, set at 23c heating the whole downstairs. Our LG invertor units are brilliant and consume very little electricity for both heating or cooling. So far it has been the mildest winter we have experienced in Cyprus and the driest since the early noughties. I...

Interesting that nobody wears citrine jewelry.... it is and was very popular in Germany though. Untreated citrines are quite expensive nowadays.

Max

The recent articles and drone films from Dominic, showing the progress of the Paphos to Polis highway, gave me the idea of doing some more research on Wikipedia about the lovely Citrines I found in the area before they started with heavy machinery... "Citrine is a variety of quartz whose color ...

Wet and windy until lunchtime at my place,.... as well as it was from the early morning seen on the Elean webcam at the harbour just after 7.30 AM

Nice to see all the photo-voltaic solar modules on the last image, installed mainly from Green Air Paphos recently. Hopefully the restaurant business is not too long interrupted and have access again when the season starts at Easter in May.

Very nice drone video, Thank you Dominic. It shows that it is still a long way to completion. Sure very difficult to film between the tunnel and Stroumpi, as the range of the drone is not endless and there are only limited access tracks to the fields and vineyards, I believe...specially in Winter Max

I believe that the "tunnel" one can see on picture 5 (Motorway crossing) is also a drain for the little river which runs near that farm. It is most of the year dry, but in rainy times at can be a torrent. In that riverbed I was many times searching for minerals and found lovely crystals li...

Thank you for your very helpful post. It took me also only 2 minutes to pay my yearly road tax of 22 Euro.

Max

Thank you all for your kind responds....
