10 December 2025 Paphos: What a Fine Sunset

 


When we look at our FB memories from two years ago, we were also in Paphos at that time, there are a multitude of sunset pictures.  So many of the sunsets here are spectacular and the  beauty lingers long after the sun is down.  So this post is a series of the sunset, no need for captioning, enjoy.

9 December 2025 Paphos: Further Exploration Along the Coastal Path

 



Another bright and sunny day found us back at the coastal walkway at the Paphos headlands.  This time we started walking just past the archeological site and walked to the end of the tomb of the Kings area.  It was a four mile total walk and we really enjoyed this new section.  There was a five star hotel that we passed and we took a walk on the grounds to check it out.  



This is the playground attached to the beach bar


A large stretch of seagrass


We spotted a fox terrier


The classic "You may think the walk is over but I don't think so" maneuver.  We know this behavior very well


Now that I am a birder, nearly everything starts to look like a bird!


A sea serpent?  No just a floating rope


Looking back towards the lighthouse


A great looking great cormorant


The coast here is undeveloped


Greenfinch


Pretty birds


Five star luxury


Pool, balconies, beach laongers


A pool bar and outside toilets


The red warning flag, dangerous swimming conditions


A trimmed palm with years of branches at the bast


A little shrine at what looked like a turtle head made of rock


Our next adventure will be this stretch of walkway


Fat cat city


Nice color scheme


This area had a place for rent but it came in second place


The glass partition no longer lines up and there are cracks on the edge, not so safe it seems


An entire herd of goats!


Crashed in the front and the cover is melting off.

6 December 2025 Paphos: Exploring Around Our Neighborhood

 


Another day of spotty precipitation so we stayed close to the house and only went out when it was not raining.  An early morning and a late afternoon stroll gave us birds, citrus trees, cats and more cats.  We got to inspect the new houses going up and later saw a meteorological special event.  We saw two dueling waterspouts off in the distance! 


Right across the street the cats get fed and there are 20 or so that congregate here


Glorious


A door and windows on a natural cave


Great tit


Chiffchaff


A common kingfisher


15 foot tall reeds


Wagtail


A very tiny church


The bell


Lovely wooden interior


Quaint chapel


All saints row


Very tiny


Well, well what do we have here?


White bougainvillea


Lots of fruit on the tree and on the ground


A female kestrel


A male, one of four that were systematically hunting this field together


Flamingo road kill!


Santa breaking and entering


These new houses are very stylish but not always that practical on the inside


I noticed a disturbance on the surface of the water


It turned out to be a waterspout


A pretty powerful one at that


Now there are two!


Wow!
