Strange.  You live in a town, and yet you never visit its tourist attractions. 

The remedy?  We took a stroll around the Archaeological Park in Kato Paphos.

I’ve been there before – almost four years ago – but that was long before Paphos became our home. 

Free hugs? 

Sure - a group of happy teenagers were stopping the passing tourists by the harbour in Kato Paphos and offering free hugs.

This one always touches me as we walk by.  Right in the heart of the tourist area of Kato Paphos is the famous ‘Bar Street’, and right in the middle of that stands Agios Antonios Church.

Officially named after the church, Antonios Street is much better known as ‘Bar Street’. 

Paphos Municipal Market in Ktima Paphos has been on my 'shopping list' for some little while. 

So I made a big effort, got out early, and headed into Paphos to check it out.

 It's Paphos Carnival today! 

For a couple of weeks everybody's been talking about it.  Even the staff in the local supermarket have been wearing fancy costumes as a part of the celebrations.  So we just had to go and see.

Its strange living in a warm climate at Christmas. 

Over years of living in the UK the question was always 'Will it be a white Christmas?'  And no, it very rarely was.  More often than not it was dull, wet and miserable.
