Paphos Life

We post a daily "Kalimera" picture to Facebook on a topical theme. I thought it would be nice to give them greater exposure, so have combined them into a monthly article. The pictures here are now viewable in their original Landscape glory. So take a look at a selection of pictures we feel...

How are you silenced?

I have just seen the new Team GB flag for the Paris Olympics. Originally I thought it was an April Fools joke. In this instance I am 100% team Firefly, for two reasons: 1. GB Athletics are something we can all be proud of. They haven't been disgraced by decades of drunken idiots putting the country ...

In what we promise is the last film on the Coral Bay Strip renovations for a few weeks, we once again fly the drone up and down the Building Site. I filmed this on Sunday March 31st. I was in the area with my drone, and thought I might as well get a film showing the concrete being laid. The workers ...

As our previous films have shown you, Coral Bay Strip is being renovated. However, a lot of the restaurants are still open for business. In this film, we show you which ones are, and where you have to go to get to them. If you know of other restaurants on the Strip that are open please send us a mes...

As Spring has now officially sprung, the dark soils of Polemi are once again being lifted up from below, and the tulips are emerging to bathe the countryside in glorious colour. And it's not just tulips either. Nature is putting on a magnificent display, and the Good People of Polemi want to celebra...

Do you ever have a good word to say about anything? How on Earth can this warrant a comment like that, considering the pace they have been going at?

It's time for the March Update on the renovations occurring on the Coral Bay Strip. So on Wednesday I met up with the two responsible engineers for a progress report. Come and find out how it is going...

Normally when I film coming from the direction of Polemi, where I live, I miss out the bit on the B7. However, on this occasion the sky was sufficiently interesting that I am including the descent from Tsada. So we start next to the new kiosk by the side of the B7. Once we reach Tremithousa we take ...

In the final part of our small series of films designed to help you navigate your way around Paphos in a car, we cover central Paphos. We start at Papantoniou's Roundabout and drive up Butcher Boy Road to the Motorway Roundabout. The Stadium Roundabout is our next destination, after which we cross P...

It's interesting to read the varying opinions on that recent mini-series set in Cyprus. Mind you, it would be boring if we all liked the same thing.

Dominic, how on earth could I blame someone else, for you, not caring about the English Flag? Simple. Idiots like them are the reason a lot of people don't have any particular urge to display the flag. And it is different from the Labour Party. They are guilty of plagiarism. The racist thugs aren't...

If you really want to blame somebody for me not caring about the England Football Kit, blame the likes of the BNP for hijacking the Flag of St George and inspiring generations of people to associate it with the far right.

I am amazed and saddened at some of the comments above. Dont get put off Firefly, i and many others of the silent majority are with you. My guess is that the true lovers of their country have kept quiet. This would imply that they don't actually love their country that much. I mean, if they can't b...

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...

The Coast Paths around Paphos have really been coming into their own over the past few years. One of our favourites can be found at Kissonerga, and runs from the cliffs down towards Potima Bay. Along the way it passes a number of resorts and little beaches. The best way to access it, if you are comi...

Saw this on Twitter: Sat in a coffee shop and noticed a little girl drawing the Union Jack in crayon. I pointed out she’d used maroon instead of traditional red so should probably start again. She mumbled something about not having another red so I kindly fished out my emergency Commemorative 1966 ‘...

The thing is, I spent the 70s and 80s telling myself that the thugs rampaging across Europe in the name of the England Football Team did not actually represent England, despite the fact that they covered themselves with the red and white cross. Consequently, I couldn't really care what colour cross ...

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