Finding Prodromos Monastery
Cache Fun
Actually that's not strictly true. I shall be returning sooner than that, as I am in the process of putting some geocaches in the area. This will help get it more widely known amongst the more adventurous hikers.
Riverbed Near
Next time I will wear long trousers though. I really need to get to the river here. I can hear it, but was unable to fight my way through the vegetation, and foolishly had left my secateurs behind.
Peace
If you do decided to follow the track beyond the bridge, wear decent walking boots. It is a lovely walk though, through some beautiful countryside. I need to decide where to put my caches now. I was tempted to stick one in the actual gorge. However, when it rains in winter, I imagine the water level in there must rise quite considerably. I have bagged the area though, so will be placing some in the next week or two.
Epitaph
And Prodromos Monastery itself? It turns out that pretty much all you can see of it was visible in the first picture of this blog. I have zoomed in to show you the ruins. As I say in the film, don't come to this area to see the monastery, come to see the countryside. It is stunning.
Towards The B7
I will leave you with the view towards the B7. You are welcome.

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.
