Local Beach Favourites On The North Paphos Coast
In August the North Coast of Paphos is very popular with the local Cypriot Population. Previously empty coves become awash with gazebos and boats. The smell of bbqs is in the air, and everybody has a good time. If you are on holiday here you will likely stick to the more tourist-suited beaches like Latsi and Polis Municipal. Alternatively there are Coral Bay, Corallia Beach, Venus, SODAP and Geroskipou Beaches on the South Coast, to name but a few. But if you are curious, this film shows you where the locals go, and how they relax.

We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia.

Throw in some abandoned villages and beautiful countryside, and you have all the makings of a fantastic day out.

Agios Georgios - The Tombs of Cape Drepanum - Cyprus 2024

Back in Hellenic and Roman times, there used to be a big quarry at what we now know as Agios Georgios, the village at the lower edge of the Akamas. This is why the church and the car park are on a cliff. Cape Drepanum is a necropolis formed from the quarry excavations. It consists of a network of tombs in the cliff walls. In this film I explore them and enjoy the view of the harbour below. For ...

This is a fantastic walk, but do take fluids with you, and shade in the form of a sun umbrel...

      Glad you liked the music. We pay a monthly subscription which gives us access to a huge music catalogue. I love music myself and always try to incorporate a decent soundtrack, so it is nice when it is appreciated.
