Akamas Sunshine
Beautiful Forests
One of the things I love about the Akamas, is the sheer variety of environments you will find there. It is difficult to capture just how amazing the place looks on camera. You get immediately dwarfed by all its splendour. Every picture I take, I look at later and think: "yes, but it wasn't like that. It was better than that."
Perhaps you need the sight and sounds to accompany it? I could try a film, I suppose. That might capture the sunshine sparkling off the freshly rain-washed undergrowth. But it would be impossible to capture the sound, the wind would be just too overpowering. And then there is the smell. Cyprus has a lot of herbs growing in the wild. And sometimes you can get completely engulfed in glorious aromas.
Go Visit!
So, be like these cyclists. Go and visit the Akamas. You don't have to go by bike.
Takes My Breath Away...
You will not be disappointed.
The Akamas by ATV
You can also hire an ATV, or even a regular car would be fine on this particular track. If you go off piste you really need to be in a 4x4 though.
Lichen Mountain
Couldn't resist this shot. I love lichen on rocks. It looks beautiful, to me at least.
