In full bloom! 🌺 This was Cyprus in May, possibly my favourite time of the year! ⁣
✍ I've been busy on the blog and wrote a couple of articles - one on instagram-friendly places on the island and second one a mini guide on what to see & where to eat in Limassol. If you have personal suggestions to add, I'm all ears! 👂

🌆 Never missed a chance to appreciate all the gorgeous sunsets in Paphos. ⁣
I did not realize it before, but Paphos is one of the best places in Cyprus to experience breathtaking sunsets with stunning views at the same time (and zero crowds). My favourite location? Definitely Akamas Peninsula and some of our local random locations in and around Coral Bay (search 'sunset' on my blog for some examples). ⁣
...⁣
For some strange reasons, I always found the beaches in and around Paphos during sunset hours almost empty. I'm not sure if its because the holiday makers think it's dinner time, while locals all dine very late (9pm being the normal dinner time). So sad for everyone to be missing out on the best part of the day, and the best photography light. At the same time, more space for you to enjoy this scenery by yourself. 😉⁣

🌴 Kato Paphos - hugely underrated part of Papho

🌴 Kato Paphos - hugely underrated part of Paphos that has so much to offer! ⁣
It doesn't have sandy beaches but it makes up for it with gorgeous seaside tavernas, stunning views and mostly locals lounging at the small but pretty beaches. ⁣
⁣
My favourite picks from Kato Paphos:⁣
1) Ouzeri Restaurant at @almyrahotel for lunch (if you're lucky you get to enjoy live music too!) ⁣
2) Afternoon coffee with gorgeous sea vies at Ta Mpania Restaurant Cafe Lounge bar⁣
3) Sunset cocktails at @suite48seafrontoasis⁣

Photo from our local Coralia Beach, at Coral Bay - best experienced at sunsets when the crowds leave and you're free to admire this beauty all by yourself. ❤⁣

Cheers to Saturday! 🥂⁣
The lift in our building broke this morning (we live on 6th floor) and the water was also cut off. This should make for a very fun weekend! 😅⁣
How is your weekend going?⁣

How's this for a lunch view?⁣
The small building on top of the cliff is actually a taverna, probably the only one in St Georgios with this stunning view. If you've never been to this part of Paphos, you're missing out! ⁣

It's little Saturday again! 🥂⁣
I'm heading off to the beach shortly for a dinner picnic, but not before I share one of my favourite places in Paphos Old Town! ⁣
...⁣
I've never been too keen on the old town, despite it's charm (read 'old falling apart buildings'), but after the renovations took places a few years back, it feels like life is slowly returning to this forgotten part of Paphos. ⁣
This is my favourite street art in Paphos because it seems to perfectly capture the world we live in, do you agree? 😜⁣

It's Sunday evening, there is a glass of Prosecco

It's Sunday evening, there is a glass of Prosecco on my table, husband is reading the good night story (about bugs this time) and I'm waiting for him to dry my hair (he signed up to that in our marriage contract). We had a weekend full of exploring and little pleasures of discovering our new home city.⁣
...⁣
Photo is from Koullas Sandwiches, a completely random spot I discovered on a road trip to Kato Pyrgos and totally worth the stop. It doesn't look like much but as soon as you wonder off down the path from the cafe/restaurant, the views are simply out of this world! ⁣
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! 😘⁣
