The Ayia Marina Coast From Above
This was about as far as I could comfortably fly the drone from my starting location. To the left of this shot is a secluded bay with an old shack in it. I have featured it in previous blogs, so won't dwell on it now.
Heading Back
The next couple of pictures are fairly similar. Taking pictures with a drone is like taking pictures while you are walking up a hill. You get a lot of great pictures all pretty much with the same view.
Still, when the view is this pretty, who cares?
Homeward Bound
On this trip I was experimenting with filters for the drone, to help cope with bright sunshine. I did also take some 360 panoramas similar to the ones I posted in the last blog. However, I learned that filters don't play well with the drone's in-built panorama creator. All the images were of a slightly different light level, so it wound up looking like a patchwork.
Fortunately, it didn't interfere with the regular pictures and film I took. So enjoy the film I made. It's only a couple of minutes long.

Polis Beaches Part 1
We've already had a look at how the beaches and restaurants of Paphos and Ayia Napa are coping with the new norms of social distancing. It is time to turn our attention to the Polis coast, and take a look at what the situation is there. In Part 1 we go from Aphrodite's Baths to Polis.
Polis Beaches Part 2
In this report we originally planned on showing you the beaches from Kato Pyrgos to Polis. However, there were so many that we have had to split it in two, so join us as we travel from Kato Pyrgos to the outskirts of Pomos. In our next blog we will continue the journey to Polis.
Polis Beaches Part 3
In the final part of our look at the beaches along the north coast of Paphos, we travel from Pomos to Polis, finishing up with a slap-up meal at our favourite kebab joint. If you want quieter beaches in beautiful surroundings, then this area will not disappoint. We visited these beaches more times than was strictly necessary to make this blog, which shows that we have saved what we consider to be some of the best Paphos beaches to last.Related Pages

Yesterday we fancied some fresh air, so we drove down to the Polis coast to have a bit of a stroll along a beach. Naturally enough I brought my drone with me. It may be January, but Cyprus is in a bit of a heat wave at the moment.

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.
