Evretou Dam
Published 14th of December, 2017
Back to the Dam
I've walked across the dam here, leaving the rest of the posse back at the picnic spot you can see in the distance. I'm having a hunt for that structure.
Yet More Fishermen
I had a choice of tracks as I continued around the reservoir. I chose the high route. In the distance I could see more fishermen.
What Was This?
What were these two poles for? Hard to say. My path is getting somewhat narrower now though, and it is a long way down...
Distant Grave
Remember that grave I showed you a few shots back? This is where it was located. Whoever looks after it does an excellent job, considering how hard it is to get to.
End of the Line
I had reached the end of the line for one visit. My wife and daughter would be getting concerned, and the path really was very narrow indeed now. So I took one final shot and returned to the car.

The Evretou Grave
Last time we walked around Evretou Dam, we observed a solitary grave on the opposite bank, half way up a hill.

Now that the Asprokremmos has well and truly overflowed, we thought we would pay another visit to our old friend Evretou.

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.
