The above signpost would normally be populated with the names and distances of cities around the world. This one has instructions for calmness: kiss me, chill out, eat-prey-love, laugh, smile. A fun set of signs. We walked to the east and when we reached the city limits of Paphos the coastal pathway stopped. We continued through a little area that was undeveloped and soon a section of paved path remerged but it did not last long. We could see the airport off in the distance at the end of a long bay. Along our walk I saw a gull and snapped a quick picture. It turned out to be a Little Gull, a new bird for me and the smallest of all the gulls.
Big planter and huge grist stones
Rock walking
These paddle boats also have a water slide
The water was very clear
A excavated swimming hole
I saw this gull and low and behold it was the rare bird from up by the headlands. Lifebird #1 for the day, the little gull. It is the littlest of all the gulls in the world
A fairly informal sign
For major renovation work. Entire floors are being added to the resort
Another waterpark, this one is for pirates on vacation
This guitar is about to fall apart
We are at the edge of the city of Paphos
Here is St. Nicholas Church
The sigh indicates that this is the sunset point
One must stand on the platform
Inside we shared the place with half a dozen folks
The decorations vibrant
Icons and additional artifacts
St. george killing hte dragon is a popular theme
Everyone is getting in on the act. Larger figures along the lower row and smaller figures along the upper row
A closer inspection of the gallery of saints
These carved wooden panels had birds on them
Carved wood all around
Bright colors
This looks like a reunion picture from All Saints Academy
The candles were burning inside the outside shrine
It is smart to keep the open flames outside
We can see the predominant direction of the wind
Very nice chaple
The pathway has officially ended and now we just have a dirt track
Exploring we go!
A very large undeveloped tract with paths through it
Just outside the city limits it is almost deserted
But developments are just a short distance away
Off on the distance is the airport
A large bay with smaller buildings
The waters are calm
What more pathway?
But not for long
Serious about fishing
Soaking up the sun
Hearty flowers still in bloom in January
Life guard shack
A couple was tossing the bocci balls
The glass bottom boat that we rode on our last visit here
We have returned to our starting point
