Well Worth a Visit
Lemba Art College is well worth a visit. There is loads of parking; a municipal car park which is usually pretty empty is on the other side of the road. There is also a park down the street to explore and any number of interesting places to visit in the vicinity. Lemba itself is a lovely village that is well worth spending some time exploring.

Geroskipou Sculpture Park
As part of Pafo2017, a new Sculpture Park was commissioned in Geroskipou. Inspired by local history, legends and traditions, ten Cypriot and foreign sculptors have created on-site works drawing on the history of the area and, in this way, leaving behind them the traces of the European Capital of Culture. That's what the blurb says anyway. So what are they like?
The Geroskipou Mural
When we went looking for the new Geroskipou Sculpture Park, we also wanted to take in the Old Camp, as we had seen it previously in passing, and thought it deserved a closer look. As luck would have it, they were right next to each other. However, what we didn't expect to find was a large mural that had appeared, on one of the walls of the camp. As a result, this article is somewhat larger than we originally anticipated, so sit back and enjoy the art...
Paphos Murals
If you take a wander around the streets of Paphos, both old and new, you will occasionally stumble upon some random art installations.The patchwork tree is one such example, but there are other exhibits too numerous to mention here. Today, we are going to have a look at a subset of these works, and examine some of the murals you will find. Most of them are situated in a small area to the west of Kennedy Square. However, there are a few others scattered around, so it pays to explore...
The Patchwork Tree in Ivis Maliotou Park
I noticed this tree when I was out logging shops for the Paphos Life Directory. I was intrigued by it so thought I would take a closer look.
Peace 2 Peace Exhibit Again
You may remember back in Spring we blogged about the The Patchwork Tree in Ivis Maliotou Park. That was assembled by Peace2Peace. Well, they will soon be doing another installation at Ibrahim's Kahn, in Old Paphos. But prior to that, we caught up with another of their exhibits, at St. Sophia Mosque. We also took the opportunity for another stroll around the area, to have a look at the brand new Markideio Theatre...
The Model Houses at Trimiklini
Sometimes when we are exploring the mountains, we like to return from the direction of Limassol. This gives us the opportunity to revisit the ranch we mentioned in a previous blog. However, it also lets us explore more rural areas that are further afield. One such village is Trimiklini. There are a number of reasons to visit. For a start, there is a petrol station and a well stocked supermarket. They also have a most unusual bridge I will feature in another blog. However, the focus of this article will be the small hillside liberally sprinkled with model houses, which you can pass, and may well miss, on you way to the sea.
Ancient Lemba
Yesterday a news headline caught my eye: "An ancient Chalcolithic settlement site in Lemba in Paphos urgently requires maintenance, according to the local community leader". We had visited this site before, so I thought I should revisit it to see just how urgent the maintenance was...Related Pages

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.
