I wonder who makes all those?
No Parking
Interestingly, the White River Beach Carpark is completely covered over at the moment with builders' rubble. So how are all the rockpile builders getting there?
Temporary Access
Amazingly enough, they have made a new access route for the beach, which descends from the cliff. So you can park on that side and walk down easily enough.
Avakas Gorge Junction
Anyway, I am getting distracted. I wanted to show you how to get to Avakas Gorge and Last Castle. So we have followed the road round to the Avakas Gorge Junction. There was a flimsy bridge here which they are in the process of upgrading. For the time being the road loops around it.

White River Beach
If you are looking for a less crowded beach, then take a trip to the Akamas. You won't have to go far, as you will pass White River Beach before you get to the Avakas Gorge, and it can be reached by any car. What the beach lacks in facilities (there are none) it more than makes up in natural charm...Related Pages

There have been a lot of questions asked online recently about the Last Castle restaurant, and when it will be opening. At the moment it is closed, because they are digging the road up as part of the Akamas improvements, so we went down to see how they were getting on. We also wanted to see how easy it was to get to Avakas Gorge itself.

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.
