The Abandoned Telecoms Tower At Koili
The Green Door

One of my favourite HG Wells short stories involves a mysterious green door which appears at key points in a man's life. The first time he went through it he had an amazing time, but in future appearances he was unable to go through, because he had an important engagement to keep. He begins craving for the door to return and is eventually found dead at the bottom of a railway embankment, far below an old green door he must have entered by mistake. The story appears in his "Country Of The Blind" book, and if you like short stories or steampunk, it is well worth checking out, though I have murdered it somewhat in my summary.
Anyway, this green door was locked, so I was unable to share his experience.

Central Garage?

The buildings shared a common roof with this open area in the middle. Did it used to be a garage?
Rear-Side View

This angle gives you the clearest view of the buildings themselves.
Rear Dish

You can also see how big the dish is in comparison here. I have no idea what it was used for. It is pointing west though, towards Crete.
Baby

Next to the big dish there is a much smaller one. This sort of dish used to be a regular feature in the back gardens of British immigrants, until Sky changed their system and they became useless. Perhaps if Sky hadn't done so IPTV wouldn't have become so popular? A case of cutting off your nose to spite your face.

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.
