Agios Georgios From Above
Agios Georgios is a charming village that sits on the South West corner of Paphos next to the Akamas Peninsula. As well as a lovely harbour there are also some interesting caves in the cliffs, a lovely tavern and an Archaeological Site. In this article I fly our drone over the area to bring you a fresh perspective.
Harbour View

To get to Agios Georgios, you take the coast road from Paphos to Peyia and keep going. If you stay on the main road you will eventually arrive at this Church and car park. If you want to see the harbour, you should stay on the road and drive down the hill. There is another car park there.
Agios Georgios Harbour

Let's start at the harbour. You cannot tell from this angle, but there are some nice murals painted along the length of the jetty. If you come here early in the morning, you may also get to see some turtles. When the fishermen return with their catch, the turtles have learned that if they hang around the fishermen will give them some tidbits.
Towards Cap St George

Now we turn our attention to Cap St George, briefly, anyway. I did a film on this a few days ago, which caused quite a stir. Somebody commented that I had cropped the film to make it look more cramped than it is in reality. However, I think that was because they watched it on Facebook and it happened to show them a landscape version. Had they have tapped the film to maximise it they would have seen the film was actually in portrait, and they were watching a clipped version. Anyway, I have included this picture, so you can see how Cap St George sits with the rest of the environment. I will return in another article from a closer look at it, but at least now you can see I wasn't trying to be misleading.
Go West

From Cap St George, the route to Agios Georgios is a somewhat barren affair.
Yeronissos Island

Yeronissos Island is a natural landmark. If you are exploring the Akamas and can see that, you know you aren't too far from civilisation. If you want to get to the caves I mentioned, you can access them from the church carpark. Walk from there directly towards the sea and you will see a path winding down the cliff. Follow that and you will soon see them.

Agios Georgios Harbour
Given that Cyprus is an island, there are surprisingly few harbours on its coastline. One such can be found at Agios Georgios, on the edge of the Akamas. And as well as the harbour, there are also some ancient caves and an Archaeological Park, so it is well worth a visit, as you shall see...Good Pages To Visit

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.
