Holidays in Paphos, Cyprus
Venetian Bridges
While Paphos is famous for its ancient history, there is plenty of evidence of later periods too. Most noticeable of these are the Venetian (and Frankian) Bridges that still stand, dotted around the countryside. The most famous were used by the Camel Train which would transport goods from the ports to the mountain. The shot above is highly unusual, and taken after the wettest winter on record, which was a couple of years ago. You will see a lot less water here when you visit!
If you decide to book a jeep tour, I think pretty much all of them will include a visit to at least one Venetian Bridge.

The second film takes you from coast to coast, visiting a host of villages along the way.
Come Along And Enjoy The Fun!
Well, we made it through the whole article and only mentioned COVID once, I think. For the latest news on that, please see the link below. You don't have to wear a mask on the beach, but for you own safety, wear one indoors when you are in public places. This won't go on forever!
And don't be shy! If there is something you feel we should know about to do with holidays in Cyprus, come and let us know. All we ask is that you read this article first. If you are looking for a car to hire, for instance, you already know what to do! So don't ask us that. Instead, come and tell us where you went, and what you saw along the way.

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.
