Rambling on the Akamas
In the past we have blogged about the lovely spring flowers on the Akamas, and the lush, green valleys. We thought we would go for a wander in early autumn, to see how the countryside compares...
A Mystery Object
Starting out from Pano Arodes, we headed out towards Avakas Gorge. We were headed for a particular spot that has some interesting crystal formations in the rocks. On the way, we notice this odd contraption. In the spring we would have missed it, as it would have been covered in undergrowth. This is the advantage about exploring in Autumn. It might not look so pretty, but there is more to see.
Close Up
This was obviously a well, thought the contraption does appear to be a bit over-engineered.
Down The Well
Don't lean over too far. Nobody will hear your cries for help from here...
Our Destination
This was our actual target.In spring this looked like an English Country Valley. Now it looks like a scene in a Spaghetti Western.
Thick Walls
There is an old, semi-abandoned farm here, now home to some pigs.

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.
