Ok, so we've crossed the bridge. Let's go and see where it leads to.

Don't go scampering off into the undergrowth to the left of the track...

In this shot, you can see directly downstream of the bridge. There is a very deep gorge down there. If you watched the film of Martiri Gorge, this is where I would have ended up had I carried on down the river. I wouldn't have liked having to climb up the side of the gorge wall there. So the only option, if I couldn't climb back up the way I came, would be to continue towards Adonis Baths.

Now, the Kitchener Map is not the only source of interesting information I rely on when it comes to getting around. You may recall a while ago I reviewed the excellent Topographical Maps of Cyprus book. Remembering that it was good at fishing out old church ruins, I looked up the area around Martiri Bridge.

It didn't show any bridge, but it did show several water mills downstream of its location. However, the big shock was that it place Prodromos Monastery in a different location to the Kitchener Map. How could this be?

Well, returning to the Kitchener Map, I noted that the monastery location was above a bend in the river. However, the satellite image showed that the bend was actually a couple of centimetres to the right, and exactly where the Topographical Map said it would be.

So, I now had two tasks. First I had to go to the end of this trail and see where I ended up. Second, I had to locate the monastery using the above location. Fortunately, I knew exactly how to get there. Unfortunately, I knew that there wasn't a lot there, as I had already driven through there in the past.

So when I came to make the journey, I already knew I wasn't likely to stumble open an ancient monastery. I was nonetheless keen to find out where this track went.
