Androlikou Roadtrip

Published 4th of April, 2018

In Max's latest blog, he once again sets off in his car to track down some stunning scenery and fascinating flora. They won't be around for much longer, so lets join Max as he searches for spring flowers from Androlikou and beyond...

Distant Kallepia

As it looked to me that the winter rain had already stopped this year, I thought I better hurry up to enjoy a trip to the countryside on the edge of Akamas, precisely the Droushia to Neo Chorio area.

Another two weeks without rain and all the greenery will start to disappear as well as all the nice flowers....

Well, I took the route from Minthis Hills to Stroumbi passing the Golf area and had this panoramic view with the village of Kallepia in the foreground.

To avoid the busy main road on Mothers Day I drove a bit of a zig-zag passing Kallepia, and via Polemi and Stroumbi heading to Kathikas and Droushia.

The Area of Droushia

After passing Droushia village there is a small but good road downhills towards the Pittokopos estate, which is fair amount of houses in the middle of nowhere. But I am looking for nature and had this panoramic view towards to Bay of Polis.

Blooming Hawthorns

Full in bloom many of these hawthorn trees are full of bees and have a lovely smell.

The Road From Droushia

This is the road which I used to come down here from Droushia.

Distant Troodos

Beautiful scenery towards Troodos and ever so green compare with Summer.

The Crystal Hills of Polemi

We were introduced to the Crystal Hills a few years back. It was the first time we visited Polemi and we were on the hunt for geocaches. This particularly one was a near perfect example of what makes a good cache: an interesting location that we would have been unlikely to find had there not been a cache there. The only thing that let the cache down was it's size, but we won't go into that here. Instead we shall have a look at the terrain, and see why the cache was called "The Crystal Hill".

They won't win any awards, but they are easy to find, and make a change from looking for shells on the beach...
