Above White River Gorge
Published 26th of September, 2021
Interesting Overhang
The reason I wanted to walk down the track was because I could see this big rock. I wanted a closer look, and I wasn't disappointed.
From The Other Side
It would be interesting to visit here after a lot of rain. I imagine there would be a nice waterfall. If you look to the right you can see the track going up the hill. My car is at the top of that. If you do decide to drive up, keep to the far left. The right hand side has large steps in it, and is totally unsuitable to drive up or down. If you look at the tracks, they hug the left hand side. This is why I parked at the top though.
It's All Downhill From Here
I can sense I am coming to the end of my adventure soon, as the route has become quite direct.
Mind Your Step
You can't hurry this route though; it is very bumpy and needs to be treated with respect. So slowly wind your way through the rocks and potholes.
Final Junction
Eventually (the road seems to go on for a while) the road comes to a junction. If you turn left here, I think you end up on a road that goes down to Paphos Zoo. I went right though, as I was still interested in that gorge.

The Far Side of the Akamas
Last October when I had the weekend to myself, I resolved to do a geocache that had eluded me up until now, due to it's remoteness. Given that people were interested in the Akamas Church blog I posted a while back, I thought I would turn the photos I took into another blog...

The Akamas By Car
Nothing beats exploring the Akamas by car. A decent 4x4 can take you to places you would never normally find on foot, and the aircon can be a real life-saver. Some routes into the Akamas are bumpier than others. In this blog take a relatively bump free route which would suite the more cautious amongst you.

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.
