The Polemi Community Project

Sea View

One of the reasons we moved to Polemi was that it was directly between Paphos and Polis, so we could access both sides of the island easily. In this shot you can see the Polis Coast in the distant. I wouldn't claim that Polemi has a sea view, but if you build a high enough tower, anything is possible!

Towards Ezousa Valley

The countryside around Polemi is very beautiful. There are lots of vineyards as well as country trails that lead to mysterious gorges and scenic vistas. There is also a lot of gypsum in the area, so if you are wondering down a remote path, keep an eye out for some interesting rocks.

The final drone shot shows some more of the village of Polemi itself. There are two supermarkets here and a petrol station at the end of the road. Not to mention nearby restaurants and other villages waiting to be explored. You can arrive here from Paphos safe in the knowledge that you won't run out of anything.

How To Get There

This map shows where the park is in Polemi. To get there, drive from Paphos along the B7 over the big hill, through Tsada and down the other side. When you get to a petrol station, before Stroumpi, take the clearly sign-posted right turn into Polemi. Stay on that road until you drive through the village. When you come to the Corner Bar you will have arrived at the park.

Now A Major Film...

I also took my GoPro and interviewed the team. You can see the results, and some more drone footage, on this film. As stated earlier, there will be an official opening ceremony soon and we will report on that too.

I shall finish by congratulating the Team, the Mukhtar and all the Sponsors on a job well done. You have done the community proud. Hats off to the lot of you!

Polemi Morning Moods

Polemi in 500 Metres

I went for a stroll around Polemi this morning. I didn't use the SMS service, so had to stay within 500 metres of our house. Turns out the light was fantastic and I was able to take some nice pictures, assisted in part, by one of our cats who decided to follow me on my travels...

The Twelve Churches of Polemi

A while ago we reviewed a new map book on Cyprus. We noted that it showed a lot of churches in Polemi that we were unaware. Many of them were in ruins now, but we thought they deserved to be seen. So join us as we visit them all, or at least, what's left of them.
