Polis Surf
Last weekend we drove down to Polis and Limni for a nice stroll along the beach. Naturally we took our cameras with us, and you may have already seen our film and virtual tour, but here are some of the pictures we took.
Polis Camping Site Beach
When we visited last saturday, the tide was very high at the beach. In the summer there will be lots of sunbeds where the waves are currently breaking. The authorities do a top notch job of tidying it up each year.
Occasional River
The waters of the River Chrysochous flow all the way down from the Evretou Dam to get here.,
Hidden Reef
The artificial reef they built here is getting a bit swamped by the waves. If you are thinking of doing some body boarding along this coastline, do take care. I tried it a few years ago, and received a lovely black eye for my troubles, as the seas slammed me into a pile of loose gravel and rocks. The waves may not be that big here, but they are very, very powerful.
Latchi View
There is something magical about visiting beaches out of season though. They are full of both memories and potential energy, waiting for the summer to come.
Old War Wound
The old pillbox was drowning at times.

Limni Pier is a lovely place to visit. In summer it is fun to jump off the end to cool down. In the winter time, when it's rough, it's best to just enjoy the view.

Limni Pier is a relic of Limni Mine, and was built to aid the transport of minerals from the pit face. Now it is home to occasional fishermen and swimmers.

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.
