When I put this Pafos itinerary in my blog schedule, I thought it might be possible that people might be going on holiday again by April. Well, we know by now that every date, estimate and guess is wrong in a pandemic. But if you’re hoping to get to Cyprus later in the summer, this … More 1 week Pafos itinerary

I spent most of my week in Cyprus beside, and occasionally in, the sea.
