Vintage Cyprus Buses
A year ago we had to visit the Department of Road Transport, off the Mesogi Road. While there I noticed three old-style Cyprus buses parked in the carpark. I returned a year later, and they were still there, so I thought I would photograph them for posterity. I also found some more modern friends of theirs, who's retirement was a bit less pleasant...
Car Park Squatters
There they are! Magnificant beasts.
From The Front
Occasionally up in the mountains, we will see a bus like this still in service. Well, still on the road anyway.
Retirement
I think these have been retired though.
Luggage Space
I wouldn't like to trust a suitcase to that luggage rack. I am sure they must have got quite overloaded in their heyday.
From The Side
I tried doing a bit of research on these buses, but I could find nothing about them. I did however find a website dedicated to Cyprus Buses. They had thousands of pictures.

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.
