Faros Beach

Apple users may be unable to go full screen, so they should click here for a bigger window.

If you are staying in the Tomb of the Kings area then Faros will probably be your go-to Blue Flag Beach. While it may not be the most attractive beach in the area, you do get a nice view of the lighthouse and there are plenty of facilities.

Also, do not underestimate the importance of lifeguards. This stretch of coast is notorious for riptides, so it is essential you swim where life guards are present.

Cyprus 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.

Agios Georgios, Universal 27 Oct 2021

Agios Georgios, Universal

The Universal area of Paphos is under constant development. We visited a small church there recently, which arrived before the surrounding houses could be built. We were only passing through so we haven't spent much time on the tour. However, we are loving the results we are getting with the new camera. It looks awesome!
