I was born in Paphos, by the fishing harbour in 1972. I am one of those citizens of Paphos that every Saturday afternoon I used to go for a walk with my friends to the sea front and try to impress the girls on the promenade, chat with them and see if they would accept an invitation for an ice cream.
We had a place to sit along the sea front. A bench built all along the front that apart from being the place to watch and to be watched also had the purpose of stopping the sea waves in winter.
The last few days we had a nice winter in Paphos, rain and rough sea. The sea wheat almost entered the cafeterias; people could not walk on the promenade, but nobody from the city council said a word.
The City Council led by the very qualified mayor, Mr. Savas Vergas, remade the promenade and you can neither sit and enjoy the view, nor cut the strong waves of winter.
The money spent for this works was public, our money, that means we elected capable people to manage our money and pay capable architects (Mr. Mesaritis from Nicosia).
I hope we see those capable people again elected so they make more great works like the Promenade…
