Akourdaleia Church And Mill
Published 11th of September, 2022
Towards The Main Gorge
This drive just generates a TODO list. I need to get to one of the peaks and fly the drone. I also need to fly it from the edge of the track, just up ahead.
Take Care
You can't tell from this picture,. but the track down here is rather steep, as it takes a direct route rather than meandering across the side of the hill.
This Way
You can't really tell from this shot, but the church is this way.
Strange Building
As we approached the point where the track crosses the gorge, we spotted an old building on the left. My initial throught was that it was a mill, but if you look at it, it is in fact a regular building.
River Crossing
Given that we've just been through the usual hot Cyprus summer, I was quite surprised to see that there was quite a lot of water flowing down the gorge.

I am still not sure whether we found it or not, but we had a lot of fun on the way, and discovered a little waterfall...

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.
