Agia Marina Reservoir
Published 19th of November, 2019
Inside
Inside, the walls are sprawled with graffiti. Why would anybody write "Giallia Team" in English though? Normally such graffiti is in Greek, which is understandable. And given the size of Gialia, it can't be a very big team...
Note that there is a fireplace in the corner. On a cold, winter morning this must have been quite a cosy house.
All Mod Cons
The toilet could do with a clean. There was another toilet in the house, which considering it only had about 4 rooms was a bit of a luxury. The other toilet was in the process of being refurbished when the building was abandoned. So perhaps they left in a hurry? Who knows...
The Kitchen Sink
That's enough urban exploring. Let's go and take a look at the dam.
Solid
Unlike other dams, there are no barriers preventing you from clambouring up and down the sides, so do take care.
Down Here
First you have to descend this staircase. It is quite steep so mind your footing.

She took her time, but Evretou Reservoir is now full! On a glorious, sunny Friday morning, I took my camera out to record the moment, and Evretou didn't disappoint. It has taken me a long time to whittle down the pictures I took for this blog, but here are a selection of the best.
Kouris Reservoir
We've neglected the dams for a while. They've overflowed, and now the waters are subsiding, ever so slightly. But what of the reservoirs further afield? Kouris has a church which is nearly submerged when it is full. So we thought we better photographed this semi-submerged church while it is still semi-submerged.

Argaka Dam
The subject of litter often crops up in discussions on the Paphos Life forum. Things are improving, but there is definitely a long way to go. So it is with great pleasure that we are able to report that on a recent visit to Argaka Dam, we witnessed first hand how school children from the ISOP are helping to keep the area tidy.Related Pages

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.
