Sometimes a tourist day goes according to plan: an ancient amphitheater, a majestic fortress, souvenir shops, lunch in a recommended tavern - a checkmark, a checkmark, another checkmark ... The day is painted by the clock. But the most vivid memories are often born where the plan ends and spontaneity begins.
That is how, turning from a lively street into a quiet, the sun -flooded Pafos lane, you can stumble upon a real miracle - a house, as if who had come down from the pages of a good fairy tale.
What is it?
In fact, the house of a blue shell is an ordinary residential building, which is its mistress, Zoe, with incredible skill, unlimited love and spiritual warmth into a work of art. Every centimeter of the facade, every corner of the courtyard - everything here breathes creativity. Imagine the walls shimmering with many shades of blue and turquoise, decorated with bizarre patterns of shells of all shapes and sizes, smooth sea glasses, polished waves, and other treasures thrown to the shore. In the courtyard, also masterfully decorated, there is even a chapel! Many exhibits used to be garbage, which was caught from the sea, so that sea waves may well claim the co-authorship of this mini-gear.
Why should you look?
The place is very comfortable and living. This is not a museum, not a store or an attraction. This is the space of love for the place where you live. Everything is genuine, everything breathes. And after noisy tourist locations, this place is like warm tea with honey, served in a bizarre blue teapot.
How to get?
Place on the map.
It is important to remember: this is a private territory, a residential building. You can get into the courtyard and consider everything close only if the hostess, Zoe, will be at home and will be located to the guests. There are no tickets and schedules here. And most importantly - going here, tune in that you are going to visit a good old friend, and not just visit a tourist attraction. Show respect - and then you will not only see an unusual house, but get a real, genuine pleasure from communicating with the beautiful and its creator. Perhaps you will even be able to hear a few stories about how this man -made miracle was born.
This house is a bright reminder that beauty and magic can be hidden in the most unexpected places, and often they are created by the hands of ordinary people with a big heart and indefatigable fantasy.
