From Lara Bay to Avakas Gorge - May 2024

This film continues from our recent drive from Ineia to Lara Bay. Now we are heading back to civilisation via the main coast track from the bay to Agios Georgios. Since filming this, they have reopened the road around White River Bay, so the latter part became redundant. Hence, the film now finishes at Avakas Gorge.

▬ 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.

▬ 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.

Hi, just wanted to thank you for all your videos . I’m moving permanently to Cyprus soon, and watching your videos made me feel less nervous about this big international move . I feel I know some places in Paphos already, just by watching your vids . I’ll continue to watch when I’m there. Much gratitude 🙏🏻!

Make sure you get a solicitor to help with immigration.

[@PaphosLife]

You don't need a solicitor to help with immigration.

[@PaphosLife]

You are welcome. Good luck with your move!

[@stephenhaskins5736]

Yes you do, try doing it yourself is a nightmare, there are also agencies that can help.

We visited the turtle sanctuary at Lara Bay as part of a jeep safari of the Akamas on our first visit to Cyprus. I am not sure whether I could find it in a rental car. Are the tracks and roads in the Akamas on Google Maps?

[@PaphosLife]

Most are. As you said on the previous film though, some signs would be handy.
