Paphos Life

Sinti Monastery was built by the Venetians in the 16th century, and was active until 1927. After that it fell into disrepair before being renovated in the 1990s. Now it stands on the banks of the Xeros River in majestic isolation, and is well worth a visit. The easiest approach is from Pentalia. In ...

Praise the mayor and ignore any whinger. The mayor has an excellent track record and deserves to be re-elected.

He hasn't logged on since March 10. I have sent him a PM to see if he is ok. I can assure everybody though that he hasn't been banned or asked for all his posts to be removed in a fit of childish pique.

Glad you all liked it. I am currently in bed with some flu bug so it was nice to read something cheerful.

as recently been started in Paphos Old Town, and when it is complete it will be fantastic. So come and see what they are doing to the Old Police Station at Kennedy Square...

I don't think it was the athlete's costumes, rather the merchandise that supporters could buy.

The German 44 number was down to the font, and quickly banned when it was realised.

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.
