Old Paramali - Aphrodite meets Call of Duty
So Let's Explore
Wandering around the ruins was a bit puzzling. For a start, why did this abandoned village have such a decent road running through it? We are used to rough tracks interspersed with occasional cobbles. This village virtually has a dual carriageway running through. And there were lots of tracks through the undergrowth. Some of them could be goats, but I think there must be something else going on here too.
Familiar Interiors
Putting mysteries aside, a quick inspection of the buildings revealed the familiar nooks and crannies we have come to expect in these places.

Ruins through ruins.
Number 2
For some reason this building had a number 2 painted on it.
A Familiar Sight
Now this was interesting. Not the rocks, which I (wrongly) assumed had been put there to hold down a cloth. On the cloth a farmer would have laid out fruit or whathaveyou, to dry out. No, what was puzzling was all the black specks on the roof. From a distance it looked a bit like goat poo, but I don't think a goat would bother making that journey, as there is nothing to eat up there.

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.
