Ancient Monument of the Holy Cross, Kallepeia
Kallepeia is a lovely village to the north of Paphos, just past Minthis Hills Golf Resort. It features a number of nice taverns as well as a well-hidden viewpoint that overlooks the surrounding valleys. If you take the path up to see it you will also find the remains of an ancient monastery.
Agios Georgios
We start at the main church in Kallepeia. Ayios Georgios is fairly large, as village churches go. We also made a virtual tour of the area, so you can have a bit more of a wander around the grounds using that. You will see a link on the next page of this blog.
Head For The Tavern
To get to the ruins, you should head past this tavern. We have yet to eat here. Having said that, we have yet to eat in the tavern on the other side of Ayios Georgios either. Both are reputed to be very nice, so we shall have to rectify that soon.
Follow The Arrow
The grounds here are very well kept. We didn't see any litter.
Up The Stairs
I imagine during peak times this place must get quite busy. The trees here provide plenty of shade from the hot sun, so it would be a lovely place to eat your souvlaki.
Holy Cross
This is what you will find at the top of the hill. Well, there is a sign here too, with a map of Paphos, as well as some shaded seating. But this is the ruin.
We first found this place when we were geocaching before we moved to Cyprus. The cache is still here, somewhere...

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.
