►Help For Travellers
If you are travelling around Paphos and would like some hints about where to go, take a look at our eBook Travel Guides.
▬ 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.

▬ Paphos Coast To Coast ▬
Explore traditional villages, visit a shipwreck and some ancient sea caves, and have a swim or a paddle in some of the lovely beaches. And once you have done it, do it again in reverse, to finish it off with some spectacular sunsets.

▬ Kato and Pano Pyrgos ▬
Do you want to see a part of Cyprus that is loved by the locals but virtually unkown to international tourists? Then let me take you on a trip to Kato and Pano Pyrgos. Located on the North Coast of Cyprus, and on the coast road from Polis and Pomos, these two villages are packed full of charm and some lovely beaches. Throw in some abandoned villages and beautiful countryside, and you have all the makings of a fantastic day out. In this guide we show you how to get there from Paphos and Polis, before taking you on a tour of the area itself

▬ The North Paphos Coast ▬
The North Coast of Paphos is one of Cyprus' hidden gems. In this, our fourth Cyprus Road Trip eBook, we explore the area between Polis and Pachyammos. This includes the delightful Pomos Harbour, the mysterious Dragon Cave Beach, and the ancient Gialia Monastery. Not to mention numerous villages, churches and reservoirs. So come with us and experience a slice of authentic Cyprus life.

▬ Ayia Napa, Protaras and Paralimni ▬
The East of Cyprus is famous for its sandy beaches and party lifestyle, but there is so much more to it than that. In this road trip we take you around Ayia Napa, Protaras and Paralimni. We also visit Cape Greco and numerous beaches along the way, as well as other interesting attractions. We even have time to take in the new Marina. The route is circular, beginning and ending at the Sculpture Park in Ayia Napa. If you are based in Protaras or Paralimni you can start in those towns and jump to the appropriate point. We do however recommend coming to the Sculpture Park and starting there, as it is best viewed either in the morning or evening.

Spent many a happy hour on the strip, especially Cleo's Bar on the corner. It's mad to think I used to drive up and down there. Thanks for this.
Not gonna lie, I clicked because of the hunk in the thumbnail 😛
Thank you for keeping us updated with the works 😊 can’t wait to see it for ourselves when it’s finished fingers crossed!
You are so welcome!
Looks great I forward to walking down the strip in September when I am back.
Fantastic update, it's looking great 🙂Thanks for asking the questions and look forward to seeing it finished.
Doing a great job guys. Cant wait to see it finished we we are there next month
It will be a boost for Coral Bay with the renovation! Too bad they didn't dare to make a real pedestrian street instead and dedicated parking spaces at each entrance instead. What a lively and wonderful place it would have been with lots of outdoor seating and no car traffic! Does anyone know if there are any plans to build a proper cycle path between Paphos and Coral Bay? Today, cycling between these places is associated with danger to life, especially in high season. I think many more people would cycle between Coral Bay (Peyia) and Paphos if they could build a real cycle path.
Great video again Dominic, Thanks. I can't wait until the end of September for our annual visit to Coral bay,, we're over for 2 weeks this time so super excited! Will be exploring more of Paphos itself this time too.
Have fun!
@@PaphosLife we certainly will. Bringing our 18 year old nephew this time x
Great video dom. Well explained. You asked all the right questions 😎👍
Glad it was helpful!
great job cant wait
We booked to arrive 7th June before realising the roadworks going on! Keeping fingers crossed it will be completed 🥰😃
Coral Bay Strip will be open by then!
@@PaphosLife amazing! Will be great to be amongst the first people experiencing I! X
Looks amazing but will pavements be higher than road as all same level .as worry as they blend togther
I am sure it will be great when it is finished and we look forward to visiting Coral Bay again next year.
Can you explain about the new road between Peyia and Coral Bay that they mentioned? Are they widening the existing road or will it be a brand new road?
Not sure yet. I will find out what I can.
Hello great vlog as usual...just a non related question...coming to paphos this weekend for the first time and as a huge man city fan would like to watch the match on Sunday.. is there any particular pub est for man city games that you are aware of that's me done honest 😮
There are plenty of Sports Bars but I wouldn't know the specifics. Try asking on our Paphos Chat Facebook Group.
facebook.com/groups/paphoschat
How is the road going to be segregated from the pavement I.e is it with bollards etc?
That's what I'm think worrying as it blends together
When will it be open do they know or can you estimate?
Arriving 1st June for 2 weeks. Will everything be complete by then?
The road will be open but they may still be doing a bit of landscaping. I don't know.
👍😊
can the coral bay beach still be accessed? If yes then how
It's no problem it will be the same as before. The renovation is also only about 250 meters long... If it had instead been a pedestrian street (as I suggested) then you would just drive on to the next roundabout (if you are coming from Paphos) and turn left at Coral Palace.
If you want to cycle from paphos harbor you can go on the coastal path. It will soon take you all the way to coral bay😎👍🔜🚵🚵🚵🚵
I've tested it and some key parts won't be a coastal path at all. Cycle paths are also a bit like motorways, it doesn't matter if it is 90% possible to cycle, but if 10 percent is missing, it still doesn't work. The funny thing is that there is actually a "bike lane" that runs alongside the road if it only could be fixed. In some places, they would have to create a road with gravel or tarmac but it is not many hundreds of meters. In other places, they would just have to clean up so that it is possible to cycle, not a big job.
Ho well. Get a car😎👍
