Ayia Napa Aquaduct Continued
On the other side of the road were some more buildings, but no aquaduct. I bumped into a friendly Cypriot, who thought I might be lost. I explained to him I was following the aquaduct and asked if he knew there was any more of it across the road. He said that he thought there might be, but that I should be on the lookout for snakes.

Last year when we visited Ayia Napa, I did a report on the ancient aquaduct that lies hidden behind a hotel. It is well worth a visit if you are holidaying on the East of the Island. At the time, I wondered where it went to. I had made some 360 film of the roads, and studying them revealed what looked like a continuation of the stonework up near the Sculpture Park.
