Akamas Summer Drive
Close-Up Damage

You also get a better view of the fire damage. From here, the trees give the game away, but it won't look like this for long.
I grew up in Ash Vale, in the UK. There, they have a lot of firing ranges, within heathland. Every so often they would have huge fires there, but the countryside would soon bounce back. And at least in the Akamas, the fire fighters don't have to worry about any unexploded ordinance. I remember the fires of 1976 on the ranges. You could hear random ammunition exploding all over the place! I was a young child at the time, and remember it well.
Towards Neo Chorio

Once we had tired of the view, we continued towards Neo Chorio.
Another Angle

We stopped again along the way, and had a look back towards the fire damage. Fortunately it looks like the scars are healing.
Distant Polis

Our final destination was a baker's in Polis.
Pick Your Route

We will end here. I hope you have enjoyed our look at how the Akamas is recovering from the fires. Hopefully your mind has been put at rest.
We have been a bit quiet on the blog front of late. Partly this is due to the lockdown. Partly this is due to all the films we have been doing recently - we only have a certain amount of time on our hands. Partly this is due to a burst water pipe (but that is now fixed!). And partly, it is because we have found a lovely area which we are still investigating, but will generate at least two blogs that will amaze and astound you. I say this to you, the dedicated readers who stick around to the end: you are in for a treat.

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...

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.
