Pumpkin House
Now this was a real find. We first spotted this Artisan Gift Shop when we were doing our latest tour of Old Paphos. However, on this occasion I decided to venture inside. I was blown away!
Statos Agios Fotios Festival
September also saw the annual festival in Statos Agios Fotios. This was the village that was built for the people who had to move out of Statos and Agios Fotios. So it was nice to see a happy conclusion to that story. The festival itself was very impressive. A huge turnout sampled the local delicacies and enjoyed the event. Well worth a visit next year.
Akamas Ramble
You don't need a fixed route to enjoy the countryside of Cyprus. Some times you just need to park the car and take a wander. I still need to clean up the Fuel Can I found on this journey. Perhaps that can be my New Years Resolution?
Magic Crystals
Also in October, I discovered how magical the glass-like gypsum crystals look when you view them through sunlight...
Kato Archimandrita
Our last visit to an abandoned village of the year involved a trip to Kato Archimandrita. The residents here all left the village for the nearby Archimandrita, owing to the poor infrastructure. The village is now in ruins, though there is still a church, and somebody is still living in a rather nice cottage.

Well, we blinked, and another year has flown by. Let's take a look back through a selection of the year's blogs and look at some of the highlights. Did you like the carnival? Were those caves a bit scary? Did the turtles look really cute on Lara beach? Did Cyprus throw up some stunning scenery for us all to enjoy? Oh yes...

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.
