We've had a lot of requests for a drive through Universal, so here it is. We hope we have managed to include your apartment, but the area is a bit of a rabbit warren, so if we've missed it, or included it twice, we apologise!
There will be a 360 version to follow.
This film is sponsored by Anaxima.
When art and usefulness are interlinked the results can be extraordinary. A fine example can be seen in the wonderfully illustrated maps of Paphos produced by Anaxima.

For a map of the area, see below. We don't show the exact route, as it was a bit convoluted. You can see where it has been uploaded to Google Street View though.

Re: Universal Blues
Thank You on behalf of all those who asked for a filming of the Universal area. It will be good for those people especially when the 360 degree version is put on. They will be able to twist around to either side and possible have a good view of their property..

Re: Universal Blues
Thanks Dominic
Did miss out our street can't be helped, as you say it's a rabbit Warren.
Well done

Re: Universal Blues
Why is this area called the Universal?
Would it be that the land is/was owned by Universal Life Ins?

Re: Universal Blues
Correct Memory Man - the land was owned by Universal Life.
We purchased our first Cyprus property in 2002 from Pafilia on Universal. At that point it was still mainly fields with just the odd development...very different to today. And thanks to Dominic we've just smiled as he drove past the old place!
We loved our place there. I walk quickly so the sea front area was just a 13 minute walk!

Re: Universal Blues
Thanks Dominic. I've stayed in 4 different apartments in Universal since 2012 and you managed to drive past or very close to all of them. Staying there again April 2022.
