B7 Closed For Repairs
As you can see, there is a lot of erosion.
Road Closed
There were a fair number of spectators. And earlier in the day - according to the local press - there had been a protest by Giolou residents who wanted some sort of access route.
Turn Left
The protestors got their way, and cars can now use the farm track to the left of the B7.
Opponents to the new motorway state that widening the existing B7 would be a better solution. That wouldn't be the case here at all. That would just make the situation worse.
Bumpy Road
Do bear in mind that this track is very muddy and in not very good shape. If you haven't got a 4x4 I wouldn't bother.
Turn Right Here
The track eventually puts you back on the B7 here. If you are coming from Stroumpi, you will want to turn right where the telegraph pole is. If you go this route though, you do so entirely at your own risk. Don't say we didn't warn you!

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.
