Agios Georgios Harbour
Given that Cyprus is an island, there are surprisingly few harbours on its coastline. One such can be found at Agios Georgios, on the edge of the Akamas. And as well as the harbour, there are also some ancient caves and an Archaeological Park. So it is well worth a visit, as you shall see...
The Harbour
We shall begin above the harbour. I've parked in the car park by the church, and I am looking down at beach.
Agios Georgios Church
This is the church. We will pop in there in a tick, but I want to explore the rocks here first.
Yeronissos Island
The island off the coast here is a bit of a landmark. It is also an archaeological site, where they have made some very interesting discoveries. It isn't open to the public though, so don't try and visit.
Familiar Caves
If you cast your mind back a few years, Max (from our forum) blogged about this area in his report on Cape Drepanum. We shall briefly revisit those caves before turning our attention to the church. Most of them are directly below the car park. If you walk to the edge you will see a series of steps going down.
Spring Flowers
While I was clambouring over rocks, Alex was snapping flowers. Well, a couple of them anyway.

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.
