Photos of Cyprus


In the winters 2017/18, 2018/2019 and 2024/2025, 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.
