Kinousa Hills

Argaka Reservoir
Let's get a better look at the reservoir. There is still a fair bit of water in it but it is by no means full any more.
Distant Kinousa
We have now driven back to Kinousa and headed down the road / track that winds through the forest towards Lysos.
Welcome To Red Lake
On the way, on your left, you will pass a concrete sign saying "Welcome To Kinousa". If you park here, avoiding the mud, you can walk down to a rather special place.
Red Lake
This is a beautiful place to visit, but please don't go for a swim!
From Right To Left
The lake is fairly sheltered, so you can normally expect to get some decent reflection shots too.

Limni Crystal Hunting
We've long been fans of hunting for exotic crystals in the countryside of Cyprus. Half the fun of it is finding an interesting geological location. But it can also be a lot of hard work. So we thought we would show you it is possible to find some nice crystals with nothing more than a little hammer. They won't win any awards, but they are easy to find, and make a change from looking for shells on the beach...Related Pages

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.
