Akamas Summer Drive
Published 6th of June, 2021
Agios Georgios
Anyway, lets get on with the show. We haven't yet reached the area that was burned.
Akamas Church
There are a number of churches dotted around the Akamas. One of them you can see in the centre of the picture here. They can make good waypoints on your adventures, and this one even has a picnic bench outside it.
This Way
We are nearly there now. On the top of that hill in the distance is a Map Marker. You will see what I mean in a minute. We need to turn left just before that and park, as we want to have a look from up there.
Turn Left Here
This is where I mean. You can also park here if you don't fancy the rather faint track.
Missing Building
There used to be a little shack here, on the left. I think it was used by a goat herder, but it has been fairly recently cleared. To the right you can see the ruins of an earlier structure, made from stone.

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.

If you have ever driven to the Blue Lagoon via the coastal road, you can be forgiven for not spotting this delightful little church en route.
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...

Last year there were a number of fires on the Akamas. We thought we would take a ride along the top and see how nature was recovering. So we started at Ineia and took the track towards Smigies Picnic Area. Join us for some amazing views...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.
