What Is Paphos like In November? Let’s take a look at the Boardwalk.
Hi, this is Dominic from Pathos Life and today we’re having a gentle drone flight along Pathos Boardwalk starting at Pakiamos Beach cuz that’s as far as we can go in that direction and fly the drone before we hit the uh Pathos airport restricted airspace. Pachiamos beach itself is lovely. So is the Louis Imperial and then you have the Olympic Lagoon Resort which I’ll go and zoom over. It’s Sunday morning. It’s about uh 9:00. Hey, hello. How are you? That’s the Olympic Lagoon. And then you got the Amphora Resort after you know. And right down there is a little wedding venue and a water sports kiosk. I imagine they’re going to be closing for the winter soon. And between the Louis Imperial and the Empora Resort, you have Sweet 48 Restaurant, which is lovely place, especially at night. It’s beautifully lit up. And coming further down, you have this little unnamed beach. Well, according to Google Maps, it hasn’t got a name anyway. Certainly not a blue flag beach, but it’s nice enough place to go if you want a quieter swim. not surrounded by sunbeds. And after the M4 resort, you get to uh Soda Beach. Sorry, there’s a little bit of a issue there with the signal. Someone’s got a blocker somewhere. But here’s Sodap Beach and the Antasia Beach Bar. And you might just be able to make out that there’s quite a lot of joggers running along the boardwalk. Actually later on today and when I say later on I mean in about 20 minutes time there due to be a fun run starting and finishing I think in Pathos Harbor. But the only reason I know about it is cuz I saw a bus stop sign that said the bus opposite uh the Alna Spa was closed for the next hour. So that’s so beach in the Antasia Beach Bar. We just uh flown over and after that you’ll get come to uh well the the correct name for Soda Beach is Viceia A and this is Viceia B. All Viceia means is tap as in a brewery tap or bar that you have at a brewery cuz there used to be a brewery there but they gave it uh to the municipality I believe. So those beaches are named after that. And that’s the Alexander the Great Hotel. Looking very nice indeed. I’ve already done a walking film along there. Pan out a bit. sea is incredibly calm and incredibly calm seas make for very nice reflections. I’m going to have to go a bit higher now, but that’ll give you more of a view of the seafront and harbor as we approach it. So you got the Almra Hotel on the right, followed by the Annabel Hotel. And just down there, that’s Alike Beach, the original one, spelled correctly. There’s an ES at the end. And after that, you have uh as I said, the an Annabel Hotel and the municipal bars. And then we come to the seafront itself. And I’ll give you a quite a high up view of that. And we’ll finish at the harbor. There’s a lighthouse in the distance. I mean looking at the picture here it looks fairly cloudy and there is some low cloud but it’s not the kind of rain cloud. It’s very nice and dare I say it hot at the moment. There’s Pos seafront below us. pull around slightly to give you a bit more of the uh walkway approaching the harbor. Then we’ll fly over the harbor and finish with a nice view of the castle or the fort. Take your pick. Call it what you want, I don’t care. And there you have it. That’s an extended view of the boardwalk, showing all I can with the drone. Thank you very much for watching, and we’ll see you in the next film. Cheers. [Music]
In this Saturday’s extended drone flight, we start at Pachyammos Beach by the Louis Imperial Hotel. From there we glide past the Olympic Lagoon and Amphora Resorts down to SODAP Beach. Next up is the Amavi and Alexander the Great Hotel, with Vrysoudia B and Alykes Beaches included for good measure. The final hotels are the Almyra and Annabelle. We finish with a high flight over the Sea Front and Harbour.
If you are thinking of a late holiday, the weather is still hot and sunny though we will no doubt get the occasional storm as the month progresses. Restaurants and bars are all still open.

▬ Ayia Napa, Protaras and Paralimni ▬
The East of Cyprus is famous for its sandy beaches and party lifestyle, but there is so much more to it than that. In this road trip we take you around Ayia Napa, Protaras and Paralimni. We also visit Cape Greco and numerous beaches along the way, as well as other interesting attractions. We even have time to take in the new Marina. The route is circular, beginning and ending at the Sculpture Park in Ayia Napa. If you are based in Protaras or Paralimni you can start in those towns and jump to the appropriate point. We do however recommend coming to the Sculpture Park and starting there, as it is best viewed either in the morning or evening.

Now that's a walk I have done more than once, it a nice long walk starting from the harbour but 3 times longer going back….. according to my legs n knee's. I did it once wearing my prescription sunglasses, good idea I thought but not when the sun set on my way back.
Start of the video shows my favourite dirt carpark for when I go naked sunbathing on the beach 😂😂
Great flight…😍…I visited the harbour while on holiday two weeks ago – looks like you can actually walk that flight from the harbour back to your start point…( is that correct?)..
Great flight Dom still nice and sunny 😊😊x
Fabulous footage. 🇨🇾💕
