From Episkopi To Kallepia

Published 17th of February, 2017

As part of Pafos 2017, there is a free tour of Episkopi Village and the surrounding countryside planned for this saturday 18th February. For full details about that, read this. We thought we would take a trip through the valley to give you a taster of the area.

The View From The Nata Road

We approached Episkopi from the Nata direction. We chose this route because you get a better view of the valley. If you go to the event tomorrow you will be bussed in from Paphos, so do check the details on the link we provided.

The View Towards The Sea

The valley looks lovely in the springtime. If you are used to visiting Cyprus during the summer, you will not believe how green it gets in February.

Getting closer, you can appreciate how the rock outcrop dominates the village.

Natural Church Organ

I've always thought this rock formation looks like a huge cathedral organ, so it is quite appropriate to see a church next to it.

The Valley Floor

Now, you can go up into Episkopi, and head for a nature trail on the other side of the village. If you do this, make sure you turn right at the Co Op. However, we are going to stay at the base of the valley, so once we've crossed the river we turn right.

The river Ezousa has carved a beautiful valley out of the lowlands to the east of Paphos. We return to Episkopi to see if it is possible to follow it to the sea in our trusty 4x4.

A short walk through the countryside around Kallepia

Now that we are getting the occasional dry day again we thought it time we started our selection of blogs on walks in and around the countryside of Paphos. For our first excursion we are visiting the village of Kallepia, situated near the Ezousa Valley and Minthis Hills Golf Course.

Ezousa Washout

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.

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.
