The Nature Trail
In order to respect the childrens' privacy, any photos will just show their backs. You can see from this shot though, how clean the nature trail already is.
Distant Makounta
Expect a blog from there in the near future...
Old Agricultural Terraces
One thing the fires are good for is highlighting historical anomolies. There terraces would have been much less visible before the fires.
Nice Views
The scenery, though fire-damaged, is still stunning.
Attractive Car Dump
Even this car dump looks picturesque.

Ever since we explored the abandoned villages of Evretou and Trimithousa, we have been meaning to return and have a look at the rest of the reservoir.

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.
