Stroumpi Murals
A Coastal Village?
I wonder what the significance of that tree in the centre is?
The Full Picture
The two murals appear to be part of the same image. I have no idea what is going on though, nor who the two portraits are of.
Nice Scenery Too
Of course, it would be rude of me to not include some shots of the surrounding scenery too. There may be a motorway running there one day though. To be honest, I can't see it happening, and there really is no need for it, but the plans show that it will run through the valley to the left of the B7.
Abstract
The broken wheelie bin kind of diminishes the effect of this rather abstract mural. There is a little shrine next to it, too.
Faded Dreams
I'm not sure what this building is, or was. Did it used to be a tavern? If you look to the left you can see there used to be some sort of sign hanging down, and there is some artwork still remaining on the walls. There is also some faded writing. If I look at the original photo, I can make out the letters "ΟΠΛΟΨΡΓΕΙΟ". This translates as "ARMOUR". So I am afraid that leaves me none the wiser. Any ideas?

The Geroskipou Mural
When we went looking for the new Geroskipou Sculpture Park, we also wanted to take in the Old Camp, as we had seen it previously in passing, and thought it deserved a closer look. As luck would have it, they were right next to each other. However, what we didn't expect to find was a large mural that had appeared, on one of the walls of the camp. As a result, this article is somewhat larger than we originally anticipated, so sit back and enjoy the art...

MapStroumpi Murals
If you drive along the B7 from Paphos to Polis, you will eventually hit Stroumpi. It is about midway between the two towns, and nestled on the Paphos Hills. If you look to your right as you ascend the hill, you will notice some lovely murals adorning the walls. In due course, I will write a blog on the whole of Stroumpi, but today, I just want to concentrate on these murals...

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.
