Argaka Overflow
Published 27th of January, 2018
This morning we read a news article which said the Argaka Dam was overflowing. We recently visited Argaka to help clean the nature trail, so we were keen to see what it looked like when full...
Argaka Nature Trail
First things first, the nature trail to Argaka Reservoir is still rubbish free, though quite muddy now.
Going Green
I took a similar shot to this when we were last visiting. You can read that blog here. It looked incredibly desolate and brown then, so it is lovely to see nature fighting back.
Picture Postcard
I have to say, Argaka Reservoir is looking lovely this morning. Almost as if it knew it was going to get visitors today.
Full Up!
Yes that is definitely full.
We were lucky with the weather actually. Not long after we took our pictures, it clouded over again.

Evretou Dam
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. A chance wrong turn gave us just the opportunity we needed, so off we went. It took us a few visits to get the full picture of the reservoir, but we saw some lovely scenery along the way...
Abandoned Villages - Makounta
We recently assisted on a litter cleanup along the nature trail to Argaka Reservoir. While we were there, we couldn't help but notice the abandoned village of Makounta on the other side of the valley. We were also curious where the nature trail went once it passed the reservoir. So the other day we returned with our camera. This is what we found...

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.
