There was a bit of a breeze blowing but I managed to get a nice reflection shot.

As you can see from this shot, we have not yet had our fill of rain, so the likelihood of the dam overflowing is pretty high. Especially when you consider how much snow there is in the mountains at the moment. The Asprokremmos Reservoir is fed by the Xeros River, which begins up in Paphos Forest. If you saw our recent Paphos Snow blog, you will know that the forest itself got a dusting of the white powder. That will eventually find its way here. On the way it will pass beneath Roudia Bridge, which is a lovely place and somewhere I really need to get back to.

Also in this shot you can just make out Foinikas in the distance. It is now pretty much inaccessible by road. There is a dodgy track to the left of the water plant, but you then have to go across a very muddy ford and up some very muddy slopes. I plan on visiting it on foot in a few weeks though. In spring it turns a beautiful golden yellow, thanks to the wild flowers. I visited last year but was a few days too late, and the weather was very overcast. The pictures weren't very pleasing, so I want to get there on a sunny day, to appreciate it fully. That will be a bit of a hike though, especially with my assortment of cameras.

Is it worth a visit if it overflows? It is worth a visit whether it overflows or not. It is a lovely place, with beautiful views, and you can get some nice snacks at the moment. So what's not to like? And if you get to see it overflow, then lucky you.

This is the little parking bay, next to the concession stands. If you are visiting just after it overflows, I would park further down hill and walk up. It can get very crowded here and you could well get blocked in. To give yourself a real chance of escaping easily, turn the car round as well, so you are facing downhill.

I shall leave you with the film we recorded the last time it overflowed. Hopefully we will be making another one soon!
