Pumpkin House
Published 15th of September, 2018
Pomegranate Box
I did say that pomegranates feature quite heavily. These boxes make lovely gifts.
Wood
I mentioned previously that Evi prefers using wood to canvas to paint her creations. She prefers the texture and the smell, and I can certainly see her point.
All Shapes and Sizes
So which do you prefer? The decorated pumpkins, or the more traditional yet equally charming wooden paintings?
Pre-Internet Entertainment
Evi explained to me that this was the sort of thing the children played with before TV and cinema came to Cyprus. Every weekend they would go to the coffee shop and the children would make shadow films and stories with characters like this.
Pinocchio
Evi's husband makes the Pinocchios. He's a carpenter, which also explains where she gets her wood from.

Paphos Old Town has been transformed over the past couple of years, in a good way, I feel. A walk through its streets will reveal a multitude of delights from beautifully decorated traditional coffee shops to quirky fashion boutiques. You will also find trendy eateries and theatres, not to mention an abundance of art and craft shop offering hand-crafted creations. Today we will be looking at one of these; a very special place, slightly off the beaten track, but well worth taking a diversion too...

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
