Kato and Pano Kivides
I did manage to walk along some walls to get close to the old farm.
I wonder what this place was like 60 years ago?
Intact Doors!
This building was obviously built of stronger stuff than the others we saw. It still had its doors and part of its roof attached, though they were showing signs of age, and in desperate need of a coat of varnish.
One Final Look
We shall return to the area at a later date, for some more exploration. I will look forward to that, as the area is very pretty and there are many interesting things to see along the route. for instance, you could go cross country (as we did) from Pissouri to Para Mali, to the abandoned village there, on to Max's grotesque mural church, and finally arrive at Kivides. On the way back you could go through Dora, Archimandrita and Souskiou.
That's a day of adventure just waiting for you!

Abandoned Villages - Statos
Statos is unusual, as abandoned villages go. People deserted it not because of inter-communal fighting, but because of the threat of landslides. And then, no sooner had they emptied, some of the abandoned buildings were repopulated. Were villagers returning, or had outsiders moved in, prepared to take the risk of landslide?

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
