Ezousa Washout
Episkopi Picnic Spot
This area has puzzled me for a while though. We stumbled on this old picnic area on our first visit, some 12 years ago. It looked dilapidated then, and we were surprised when we passed it by on another visit to see signs that the site had been used. So the swings may not be in particularly good nick, but you can still have a perfectly good picnic here.
Or you could, anyway.
Missing Swings
Unfortunately, the Ezousa River has obviously burst its banks here recently. The entire park has been under water. The swings have been washed away, or possibly they just disintegrated.
Missing Table Tops
Two of the concrete table tops have also been washed away. You can see one of them on the floor here. The good news is that one of the tables has survived, so it is still possible to have a picnic here. Just don't invite too many friends.
Stubborn See-Saw
The see-saw was obviously made of stronger stuff than the swings.
High Water
The river itself is still bursting at the seams too. It isn't normally like this.

Kannaviou Countryside
You could be forgiven for thinking that the Ezousa Valley runs from the sea to Episkopi Village. But it continues through Letymbou all the way up to Kannaviou. And guess what? It's just as lovely up there.Related Pages

On our numerous visits to the dam over the last few days, we have also taken the opportunity to explore the countryside between the Asprokremmos and Polemi. How had the rains affected the Ezousa Valley? Was one of our hidden picnic areas still intact? Could I even get from Ezousa to Kallepia, like I had done on a previous blog? Would I rescue some German tourists? The short answers are badly, ish, no and yes. For a more in-depth discussion, read on.
