Photos of Cyprus

Home / Cyprus

This page is in process of editing at the moment. I have many new photos to upload. Please come back.

In the winters 2017/18 and again in 2018/2019 I spent some time in the Paphos area of Cyprus and there are several photos here from that region. Most of these photos are of the coastal region of Paphos, and many are of the numerous archaeological sites in the area. 

The photos near the Larnaca region were taken in the wintertime - December and January 2016/17/. Although there was plenty of sunshine, there was a lot of rain and thundery weather, which offered some dramatic lighting conditions. I found the rural villages very charming and interesting, and the mountain landscapes were quite stunning. The Cypriot people were the friendliest you could meet.
