Aphrodite's Trail
Rocky Road
Anyway, let's follow the road to Blue Lagoon. As you can see, it is not in the best state. However, it used to be a lot worse
Distant Chapel
If you look carefully you can see a white building in the hills on the left of the picture. This is an Akamas Chapel we first wrote about way back in 2016. In fact if you look at that article you can see how much the road has improved.
The Direct Route
If you want a direct route to the chapel, you can clamber straight up the side of the hill from here. Presumably that is why the shrine is here. I don't recommend this though. You are much better off sticking to the path.
Turn Left Here
Soon after the shrine a smaller footpath veers left off the main track. There is a sign on the right to give you another clue, though you can't really see it in this shot.
The Sign
It is a bit puzzling as to why the sign is placed where it is. It is of most benefit to somebody arriving from the direction of the Blue Lagoon, but I doubt many hikers looking for the Aphrodite Trail will be coming from that direction.

The Akamas hosts many fine trails for the intrepid hiker. Some of the more popular ones originate from Aphrodite's Baths. The other day we paid a visit to experience one for ourselves. So join us as we follow a rocky trail and revisit an old friend.

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.
