Androlikou Roadtrip
Published 4th of April, 2018
Flowers on the Road Everywhere
Continuing driving down towards Androlikou I had to stop the car to take these pictures; flowers right on the road... plenty of irises.
Close Up
Close up of these irises. It is very common in Cyprus to see not one or two flowers, but hundreds of them in one place.
Distant Akamas
This is the view from the same place towards the area I wanted to go to find more orchids, near Neo Chorio village.
Naked Men by the Roadside
So I arrived at the places I knew from the past that there are plenty orchids without searching for them... again, right on the road there are flowers everywhere.
Close Up of a Naked Man
I still can't understand why these orchids are called Naked man.
[Ed: he said that. I didn't]

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".

Limni Crystal Hunting
We've long been fans of hunting for exotic crystals in the countryside of Cyprus. Half the fun of it is finding an interesting geological location. But it can also be a lot of hard work. So we thought we would show you it is possible to find some nice crystals with nothing more than a little hammer. They won't win any awards, but they are easy to find, and make a change from looking for shells on the beach...Good Pages To Visit

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.
