Re: Paphos Walkway Update - The Movie

Thank you Dominic I’m sure that’s answered many potential tourist’s enquiries into how the work is proceeding

My question would be “ what’s happened to the workforce “ it looks like it’s been abandoned!!!!

Re: Ayia Napa Marina

It’s a very interesting piece of architecture hopefully it will be a great success after such a huge investment. I would love to see it after 12 months when the retail units are occupied and the dwellings have been sold, there should be a great vibe

Re: What is happening in Souskiou?

That chap wasn’t user friendly

I thought I might be totally barking up the wrong tree or barking mad that these abandoned villages fell under some Treaty Act
that was drawn up at the time after the invasion. It’s not what you expect to come across in an area of natural beauty

Re: From Avakas Gorge to Agios Georgios

Thank you Dominic
I was amazed at the people there and the red plates (do not drive off road insurance doesn’t cover !!!) they/we aren’t as skilled off road as you Dominic maybe in a 4x4 but I wouldn’t risk a car
Agios Georgios is a lovely little harbour have spent many an hour there
