From Pentalia to Polemi
Old Still
Hmm, this is a bit less common though. It appears to be an old still. I saw something like this at last year's Statos Ayios Fotios Festival. I think it is used for making Zivania, but I am happy to be corrected. Note though, the series of dates written on the big tank. This indicates that the area is sprayed by the Forestry Dept on a regular basis. Well, as regular as the dates written down, anyway.
More Farmyard Paraphernalia
Ok, so this isn't just a random of assortment of farmyard implements. I have actually stumbled upon the local museum. Unfortunately, it is closed, but there are all sorts of interesting Cypriot items surrounding it.
Nice Church
On the other side of the road to the museum is the main church. We saw it from a distance and it is very distinct. Worth a look inside if it is open.
Turn Right Here
After the church you need to turn right here. We are driving through Lemona next, before heading for Letymbou.
More Vineyards
I love how vineyards look in the early summer. Each winter they are pruned right back. They sprout new leaves in the springtime, before maturing ready for harvest later in the year. At around the end of May they have grown enough to produce a nice regimental photograph like this. A few weeks later and their growth produces a less-ordered appearance. There is something "neat" about them now.

Paphos Life Road Trip #1
As summer approaches we thought we would put together some road trips suitable for all types of cars. No off-roading will be involved, and the emphasis will be on sight-seeing. This trip takes in over 10 villages, and covers a variety of landscapes, from Kathikas in the East to pano Panagia in the West.Polemi Sunrise
A couple of days ago I was up bright and early running some errands, and I couldn't help but notice the beautiful sunrise. Naturally enough, I took some pictures, and this put me in the mood to take some more snaps as I carried out my chores...Letymbou
Over the last few months, we have blogged about a number of abandoned villages in the Paphos region. As the summer holidays are approaching we thought it would be nice to change the focus to the non-abandoned villages. First up is Letymbou. We chose this first because on a recent forum discussion somebody mentioned that Letymbou was famous for having TEN churches. We felt that needed investigation, as we had only ever seen two on our travels.Abandoned Villages - Agios Fotios
Given that I wrote a blog about Statos last week, it would be unfair of me not to cover its close neighbour, Agios Fotios. Their histories are intertwined, as they were both abandoned for the same reason. Indeed, they merged to form a new, single town, called Statos Agios - Fotios. So what was left behind...The Statos - Agios Photios Festival
Among the highlights of late Summer / early Autumn in the Paphos region are the village festivals that are held throughtout the area. Statos - Agios Photios has an annual event, and given that we have already visited the deserted forerunners of the twin village, it seemed only fair that we should check out their offering, to show you that the village is very much alive.Good Pages To Visit
