Akamas Narcissus
Published 7th of March, 2021
One Final Closeup
The flowers are past their prime now though they still look pretty, However, as we have shown you, there are plenty of other spring flowers that are still in bloom.
According to my wife, the Narcissus is essentially a wild daffodil. I wonder what William Wordsworth would have made of this scene?
While wondering on the Akamas with the Missus
I came across a field of Narcissus
Once we had finished photographing the flowers I thought I might as well take some landscape shots as well.
Old Ruin?
I saw these rocks here. I wonder if there used to be a building here? That shall remain a mystery for another day.
The Movie
I'll leave you with the drone film. It starts with a few flybys of the field before having a gentle glide high above the valley.

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.

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.
