Foinikas in 2026
Foinikas is an abandoned village on the banks of the Asprokremmos Reservoir that is steeped in history. Formerly a Knights Templar stronghold, it now lies in ruins. However, for a couple of weeks each Spring, it puts on an amazing floral display for anybody adventurous enough to see it.
Foinikas In Bloom
You won't get an associated festival, and Rambo certainly isn't putting in an appearance, but the Annual Flower Display at Foinikas is a joy to behold.
Reservoir View
When the reservoir is full it laps just below these rocks. It looks nearly empty in this shot, but it is in fact around 38% full, which is much better than even a month ago.
Upstream
The reservoir is still filling up too. I could hear the sound of the river from the amongst the ruins. And later, once we had finished exploring, we had to drive through it on our way out.

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.
