Below Asprokremmos Dam
We gave you a sneeky peak of this location in a recent blog. Another damn fine view, and the bees were enjoying it too!
Here I Am:
When the Asprokremmos overflowed, we were curious to see where all the water went. We knew of course that it would head to the sea, but given that the reservoir last overflowed 7 years ago, we were curious what had happened to the land in the mean time.
It turned out that it was a pointless question. It didn't matter what had happened to the land in the last 7 years. What mattered was what happened now. And the answer was simple: the dried up area soon became a lush, verdant riverside location. It is very pretty here, and a great place for bird and insect spotting. Be careful of the road here however, it was very muddy in places.

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.
