Cyprus Snow
The weather in Cyprus has gone a little bit crazy at the moment. Yesterday it snowed in Nicosia, and on the beach at Argaka. It snowed in Polemi too, and we went for a drive up to Panagia again. We got further this time, as you shall see...
I'm Dreaming
As I sit down to write this blog, I can't help thinking how fantastic it would have been if we had snow like this three months ago. Imagine, a white Christmas in Cyprus. When we get to Panagia you will see how festive it looks. You can easily imagine the whole place adorned with Christmas Decorations.
But alas, this is March. And in March, it feels bloody cold!
The Road To Panagia
When we set off from Polemi I mounted the camera on the roof, with a view to filming the journey. I was a bit worried about snow. I wasn't afraid of the camera getting wet - it is waterproof after all. But I didn't want snow to block the lens. I was hoping that the heat the camera generated (they are prone to get hot) who melt any snow.
From The Inside Looking Out
It turns out I was wrong. I stopped at the picnic bench at Asprogia to check on the camera, and it looked like a snowball. So I took it off the roof, brushed off all the snow, and gave it to my co-pilot to hold as steadily as they could.
View From The Back Seat
Meanwhile, Alex was in the back taking pictures as we drove.
Mad March
Yes, this is March. Had it snowed a couple of weeks ago we would have been treated to the sight of seeing shotgun-wielding abominable snowmen, marching through these fields taking potshots at whatever moved. But the hunting season is over now.

Thanks to the Troodos Webcam we were able to see that it had been snowing in the hills, so we packed our jumpers and headed off for some winter fun.
Paphos Snow
We had snow in Paphos! It doesn't happen that often, so we went out for a drive to take in the scenery. While not in the same league as the Troodos, it was still quite pretty, so join us as we take the road to Panagia...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.
