Adonis Viewpoint
Distant Camel
Is it just me, or does that tree in the top middle look like a walking camel?
Distant Husband
I just realised you can see me in this shot. There I am below that tree. You can just make out my hat. Who says I never post selfies?
Peyia Again
What can I say about the countryside up here? The landscape is fairly barren. The vegetation isn't too bad, but there are lots of very painful grasses about. Decent boots are essential. Later on in the year it would be less painful, but less colourful too. The track from the Stroumpi-Kathikas road is pretty decent up to this point.
Another Flower
Is this an orchid? I have no idea. My wife obviously liked it though. Anyway, from this point on, the track deteriorates. As I said previously, you might be able to make it down to Adonis Baths on the main track, but I wouldn't risk it from this direction. I will try coming up from the baths one day, and see if it is possible without going through a gate.
There is also another track heading downwards, but that looked like it was disappearing, so we gave up and went back the way we came. I checked later on google maps, and that track did indeed lead nowhere.
Pretty Thistles
Pretty, but very painful, if you grab one by mistake.

The Legend of Akoursos
Akoursos is a little village situated above Coral Bay, nestled in the hillside. It is off most people's radars and most visitors are probably tourists still searching in vain for the "suitable for all vehicles" road that will take them to Aphrodite's Water Baths. The other week we drove through there just so we could explore the hills behind it. While passing through, we couldn't help but notice a striking cave, embedded high up a cliff face. We decided to investigate...

Clean Up Paphos!
Rubbish has long been an issue in the region of Paphos. While fly-tipping no longer occurs on every hillside corner, it is still a big problem. In the last few years however, a number of Green Points have been set up throughout Paphos. The only trouble is, very few people seem to know about them. So we decided to track them all down, and show you what to expect when you visit. If you want the rubbish situation in Paphos to improve, it is in your own interests to use these places. We appreciate that a tour of recycling points won't make scintilating viewing, so we took the scenic route to bring you some pictures of the countryside too...Good Pages To Visit

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.
