Re: Paphos in the 60s.
Those were the days! The photos of the harbour tie in with what I remember when I visited Paphos in 1968 while staying at Akrotiri. I remember how quiet and undeveloped it was, just the castle, the fishing boats, the customs house and one or 2 very basic harbour side tavernas which grilled fresh fish from that mornings catch for you, accompanied by some village bread and chips (I think). I had a reasonable size red snapper.. It was so peaceful there seemed idyllic. Though the presence of a UN peacekeeper with blue beret, in one of the photos might have been significant.

Re: Paphos in the 60s.
Cyprus didn't pop up on my radar until the early 90's so I feel like the new kid on the block based on earlier comments
Hard to believe what Kennedy Square looked like especially
Think I will have a mooch through his video library. Should be interesting

I am adding a video section to the main site, and they will all be going in there, along with Devil's film.

Re: Paphos in the 60s.
I remember Trev doing a weekly blog about 10 years ago on the harbour development on another site. Just wonder if that is still about to post it in full. It was great.
Re: Paphos in the 60s.
The other forum was CyprusLiving, many members at that time contributed to this original post, Trev was certainly one of them.
