Armou Viewpoint
The village of Armou lies just above Paphos City, on the road to Marathounta and Episkopi. It is located on the side of a hill, so you get some nice views of Paphos. This feature has been exploited with the erection of a nice new viewing platform, similar to the one we reported on near Pomos Reservoir. The other day we went and had a look...
Distant Viewpoint
To get to Armou, take the North turn on the Motorway Roundabout. You want the E710 that passes through Konia, Marathounta, Armou and Episkopi. Technically you can get to Nata this way too, though you would be better off taking the motorway and turning left at the Agia Varvara Junction.
This is the view you get as you approach the turnings for Marathounta and Armou. If you look you can see something interesting on the horizon: a mysterious square!
The Route
The square object is actually a viewing platform that has recently been erected. It looks similar to one we saw a few weeks ago in Pomos. To get to it, you need to continue up the road and ignore the first Armou turning you come to.
Side View
Don't worry, you will be taking the next turning, and can still see the box from the road.
Turn Left Here
You want to turn left here. It is a quiet, narrow road, but there is ample parking further up when you arrive at the platform.
Getting There
You will soon have it in your sights.

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.
