Avakas Gorge

Spectacular
Another advantage of the widening gorge as you head up the trail is that you can now appreciate just how amazing the landscape is.
Another Interesting Tree
I didn't make a film of our adventure up the gorge, as I was with my visiting brother and I don't think he would have appreciated me waffling away all the time. I will do the trail again soon though and film it. Then you will be able to appreciate the lovely sound of water trickling through the pools.
More Storm Rubbish
This was puzzling too. At first glance it looks like this was a man-made construction, but on closer inspection I think it was just another bit of flotsam that had got wedged in on its way down the gorge.

This tyre shared a similar fate.

Petratis Gorge - Part 1
Cyprus has an abundance of beautiful gorges. Most people know about Avakas, but there are many others. Petratis Gorge first came to our attention when we visited the Akamas Geology Centre. We saw it pictured and felt it needed further investigation. A quick google revealed that it was remarkably close to the Northern town of Latchi. So we set out to see what we could find. We weren't disappointed, as you shall see...Related Pages

For some time I have been fascinated with exploring gorges in Cyprus, and have brought you reports of various nooks and crannies throughout the island. For various reasons I have yet to give you a tour of the Grand Daddy of them all, but a recent visit from my brother inspired me to take him on a trip up Avakas Gorge and give you a report on the full trail.

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.
