More Stormy Seas
To The Harbour
Luckily we were able to park just outside Pingouino's, so were in easy walking distance of the main drag. We cut through one of the alleyways to the sea walkway.
A Dark And Stormy Day
We had a nice view of Poseidonos Avenue from here. Look at the colour of those clouds!
Distant Castle
Wind Picking Up
Those Palm Trees will tell you how windy it was now. Incidentally, you see that building just below the trees? There is a little Police Station there, and I thought it would be safe to stand there to shelter from the sea.
It isn't safe, I was drenched by water which seemed to veer around the building and land straight on top of me. I retreated to the opposite side of the street to dry myself off.
Ref Flag Flying
It wasn't really needed, but the unmanned lifeguard station had a red flag flying. You would have to be start raving mad to go swimming in this anyway. The Epiphany Swim that did go ahead was around by the castle, in a more sheltered area, you will be pleased to hear.

Stormy Seas
Paphos took a bit of a battering over Christmas. The storms were relentless and nature put on a display the match of any New Year's Eve pyrotechnics. Once the dust had settled, we took our cameras out for a spin. This is the blog of the film we published a couple of days ago...Related Pages

We had hoped to have some Epiphany Day Celebration photos to show you today. Unfortunately, the wind cooked up a storm and the celebrations had to be cancelled for safety reasons. When life throws you lemons, make lemonade, we say. So we took some pictures of the wind to show you instead...

In our final film of 2019, we thought we would take a drive around the coastline of Paphos to see how it had weathered the recent storms. As you can see, once the sun starts shining again, Paphos looks gorgeous.

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.
