From Miliou to Theletra
Olives
We also found plenty of olive trees; another Cyprus Staple. All the orange trees seemed to be at the base of the valley though.
Mystery Machine
We found this strange machine in a field. Is it a water pump?
Another View
Now things get interesting. Up to this point, the vines all look fairly standard. You will see thousands of similar shrubs in the fields around Polemi. But look what we found in the next fields...
Novel Compost
In some fields, the vines are being fertilized with lots of vegetables and mulch.
Many Tomatoes
I didn't understand this though. I would have thought there would be more money in tomatoes than grapes. So I was amazed to see so many of them just used as compost. Perhaps the wet winter last year has resulted in a glut? Even so, I would have thought the extra toms could have been used for juice. Does nobody in Cyprus drink a Bloody Mary?

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.
