Polis Christmas Village - 2023
The Central Christmas Tree
According to the Polis Facebook Page, the official Christmas Tree Switchon is at 5PM TODAY (Saturday). We obviously had a sneek preview when we went around.
Santa
Of course, another essential component of a Christmas Village is Santa himself. Here he is, weaving his magic. And I overheard one child telling another that it was actually the real one.
More Taverns
Away from the Main Square the Festive Spirit continues. There are more taverns down there.
Central Square
As I was finishing taking pictures more people were starting to appear. I was glad about this as the traders and local municipality have done a great job in bringing this village to life, and deserve your support.
Final Tree Shot
I'm not sure why the Gingerbread Man looks so miserable. Perhaps he wanted to be on top of the tree? Anyway, the Christmas Village at Polis is now well and truly open, so make sure you come and see it. And while you are here, stay and have something to eat at one of the many taverns in the area.
Keep an eye on the Facebook Page of Polis Municipality to see what other activities are planned over Christmas, and don't forget that this is the Schedule for Saturday (today!):

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.
