Kannaviou Reservoir in 2025
Dam Fine View

You can't tell from a close-up shot like this, but from a distance the dams really blend in with the surrounding countryside.

Overflow

The water situation in Cyprus, and especially Paphos, is getting a bit worrying. I highlight Paphos because our sole desalination plant recently burnt to the ground. There are plans for another, and to repair this one, but what we really need is a lot of rain.
Meanwhile, Nearby...

Anyway, I have already talked about reservoir water levels in the recent past, and not a lot has changed since then, so let us move on to other topics. There is a Garden Centre near the reservoir. I remember it because when the reservoir was last full a few years ago, this place was flooded.
Mini Reservoir

It even appears to have its own little reservoir. There is a big sign down there too. I wonder what it is saying. I feel the need to investigate further, but that will have to wait for another day. I looked on Google Street View, and there was a picture we added back in 2020 which identified the Garden Centre as Loukas Plantations. But I couldn't find any further information.
Kannaviou Overflow

This is where the Kannaviou overflows. You can't really see it if you visit the reservoir on foot. I remember when I was reporting on the overflowing reservoirs a few years ago, that the best place is the Asprokremmos. Ok, it overflows less than the smaller reservoirs, but you can stand directly above the overflow and also buy Loukoumades at the hastily erected food stalls.

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.
