A trip to the villages of the Paphos forest.

 On a beautiful Sunday morning we left Pissouri and drove North towards the Paphos forest.

Our first stop was the village of Arsos, this is a picturesque, well kept village with a long history of winemaking. 

We drove on passing through Agios Nikolas and Salamiou, this part of the drive consists of underlaing roads but with scenic views.

On the road leaving Salamiou we found a small picnic site with stunning views across the Valley, so we got out and enjoyed a couples of sandwiches and a coffee.

We left the picnic site and drove South on the F617, this is a stunning drive between two valleys.

 

Afternoon tea and a walk along the Mandria Coast

On another beautiful February morning,  we took the short drive over to the village of Mandria. There is a lovely coast walk in this area, on one side you have the sparkling Mediterranean sea and on the other side are agricultural fields.

The ladies of Pissouri gathered at the Delizie cafe for an afternoon tea and a glass of Prosecco. Entertained by a live singer, a good time was had by all.

Dramatic clouds and another Birthday rolls around

 We have had some dramatic weather this Winter in Cyprus, this weekend was no different with the dark clouds rolled over the village giving some fine contrast between Light and Shade.

The Saffron Indian restaurant was the venue for a Rob's birthday lunch.

Good food with friends was the perfect way to celebrate.

We finished off the day with a visit to the Pissouriana hotel for a couple of drinks.

Has Spring Sprung ? and Limassol waterfront

 The question is, have we had an early start to Spring this year in Cyprus. On a beautiful February day, it was time to get the walking shoes on for a stroll on the outskirts of Pissouri. 

There was an abundance of wild flowers and shrubs.

Taking advantage of this weekend's glorious weather we drove over to Limassol waterfront for a morning's walk.

We started at Agios Tychonas and made our way to the St Raphael Marina. The promenade is a a good pathway with some colourful flowers along the way. 

We stopped of at PlusSea restaurant for a refreshing coffee before returning to Agios Tychonas.

Elaine's 75th Birthday and a Havana video.

 The Two friends restaurant in Pissouri was the venue for a dinner to celebrate our neighbour's , Elaine's 75th birthday. 

Elaine celebrated her birthday with family and friends from Cyprus and overseas.

The guests were served a superb Cypriot meze and a big Thank you, to our host Elaine.
