Agios Georgios, Universal
The upper reaches of the Universal Area of Paphos are steadily being developed. New estates seem are being constructed all the time. Yesterday, while driving through, we stopped by a church that had sprung up before any surrounding houses had been built. I went for a wander and this is what I found...
Outside The Church
I should point out that though this church is relatively modern, it wasn't built in the last few weeks. The first pictures of it on Google appear in 2016. So it has been around a fair while now.
Complete With Play Area
As you arrive at the church, you cannot help but notice the adjoining play area. It's well equiped, and kids use it. One of them had even left a spiderman mask behind, if anybody has lost one!
Outer Tour
I am always cautious when visiting a church I don't know. The last thing I want to do is interfere in anybody's worship, or disturb somebody in prayer. So before I tried to get in I walked around the outside first. The church is in very nice surroundings.
That Play Area Again
You can see that spiderman mask in the bottom left of this picture. I hope he had a backup plan.
Unknown Memorial
I have no idea what this says. Perhaps it is a relic from a previous church on this site? I did have a look on the old Victorian maps of Paphos, and there is nothing shown at this location.

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.
