The Abandoned Village of Theletra - Part 2
Published 14th of December, 2019
Go Down Here
This track is to the left of the last photograph. It goes downhill. I want to go here, as I saw something from across the valley on a different trip, which perked my interest.
Hmm...
Speaking of across the valley, looking at that farm, I can't help think that sooner or later large chunks of that rock are going to come tumbling down.
As I Suspected
Yes, the track I was on eventually led to a farmer's field. Above it through the weeds, I could make out this cross. So I walked to the other side of the field and took the rough track heading back up the hill.
The Old Graveyard
This graveyard has been abandoned for some time now, and is quite overgrown.

So we thought we would find a scenic route between the two locations...

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.
