From Episkopi To Kallepia
Published 17th of February, 2017
Steep Hill
The road up to Kallepia is steep and in places you have a lovely view of the bottom of the gorge far below you.
Spring Blossom
When you reach the top, the views are spectacular. But spectacular views are two a penny in Cyprus, so we have added blossom.
Snow Capped Mountains
I am still debating whether to return to Troodos before the snows melt.
Tomb of the Vines
This vineyard reminded me of one of the Flanders War Graves. Teddy bears appear to have been employed as guardians.
Typical Cyprus Spring Scene
We'll end on a typical Cyprus Spring scene. A church, a vineyard, blue skies and mountains in the distance. If you have walked here from Episkopi, you may want to continue on into the village and avail yourself of one of the bars. You can phone for a taxi from there!
I know we have strayed a bit far from Episkopi, but hopefully you can appreciate how lovely Episkopi and the surrounding countryside is. The tour tomorrow is free, and well worth thinking about if you like what you have seen here. For further information, read this.

From Ezousa Valley To The Sea (almost)
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.
The Drive To Adonis Baths
Yesterday we posted a film showing the drive to Adonis Baths. It provoked a lot of comment, so here is the accompanying blog which will hopefully answer any questions.Related Pages

As the Ezousa Valley winds through the Paphos Countryside, from Letymbou to Episkopi and beyond, another valley breaks off to the right, and heads to Kallepia. This short tour shows an old abandoned track, and the view of the valley beyond. We had often wondered what the track was.

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.
