Droushia Lowlands
No Quarry View
There were also a fair amount of olive trees growing here. We noticed this several times along the route. We would find fields containing only a dozen or so trees. It didn't seem to make much economic sense, but I remember hearing that people get grants for olive groves, so perhaps it has something to do with that?
Baaaaaaaaaa
This barn actually had lots of sheep packed in, getting shade from the hot sun.
More Ruins
There were a few more ruins here, but nothing remotely village-like. So once we had finished exploring, we headed back down the bumpy track, towards civilisation.
Rocks From Below
This shot shows some of the rocks we had been standing on, when I had been looking down at the farm. To the right you can make out a small cave, if you look carefully.
Quarryside
As we made our way down the track we could see the distant quarry. It isn't as exciting as Limni Mine though, or the hidden mine in Paphos Forest. I really must get back there at some point...

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.
