Aloe Hotel Tour
The Final Chapter
There isn't much left to explore. Directly in front of the rear of the Hotel, there is a ramp leading down to an underground garage or basement. So I thought I would head around there.
Pool House
Along the way, I found the pool house, which had a basement of its own.
Pump Room
It's a bit bigger than our pump room.
To The Garage
The road sloped down to the left here, to an underground area.
No Fixed Abode
I did venture down there, without a torch, and got a bit of a start, as did the poor unfortunate who was dossing there. I apologised, and made my way back out, without taking any pictures of the man. They were either a local Cypriot or an Eastern European, I think. I hope their situation is only temporary though, and that they get the help they quite obviously need.
And on that rather sombre note we shall end our tour of this once majestic hotel. In years to come its grounds will play host to one of Paphos' very own Twin Towers. For now though, it is just a haven for old memories.

Pantheon Hall - Part 1
We've always loved urban exploring - visiting abandoned old buildings - and Cyprus has more than its fair share, from old hotels to forgotten hospitals for disused mines. When we discovered the place we are about to show you though, we really hit the Urbex Jackpot. This place is amazing, and has a remarkably colourful past as well.Related Pages

There have been a few hotels close down in Paphos over recent years. COVID had a lot to answer in that respect. I visited one of them recently, as somebody asked me to check it out.

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.
