This would imply that the feature was built, or perhaps restored, in 1992.
Lovely Trees
Aside from the water feature, there was little sign of any abandoned village.
Not a Venetian Bridge
There were many roads we left unexplored though. So next time we will come better prepared. Still, we had a lot of fun exploring.
A quick flower shot, as people seem to like them.
Distant Civilisation
We continued on our track. It soon became apparent that we had missed the area where Mamountali used to be. So we decided to continue on our route as it should eventually lead us to another semi-abandoned village; Lapithiou. We mentioned that village a couple of years ago, mainly because there are some dogs there that bark at you whenever you drive through. Those dogs have put us off exploring it in the past.

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.
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.
Ezousa Estuary
A couple of years ago we stumbled across a sad little memorial at the mouth of the Ezousa River. We thought we would check it out again a few days ago, to see what the area looked like after the rains. The question was, how would we get to it?Related Pages

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.

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.
