Kato and Pano Kivides
Published 8th of September, 2019
Tidy
As you can see, the rest of the church grounds are pretty spic n span.
Another Sign
Whatever this sign commemorates, it happened in 1941
The church is a good place to go to if you want to take in the village, as you can get decent views of the surrounding houses without having to walk through lots of painful undergrowth.
Stunning View
I really liked this shot of the view from the church. Imagine the same view with shops and cottages intact. It must have been a very picturesque village in its day.
Crumbling Ruins
Now though, most of the walls have crumbled and nature has swamped the fields.

Abandoned Villages - Statos
Statos is unusual, as abandoned villages go. People deserted it not because of inter-communal fighting, but because of the threat of landslides. And then, no sooner had they emptied, some of the abandoned buildings were repopulated. Were villagers returning, or had outsiders moved in, prepared to take the risk of landslide?

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.
