Kouris Reservoir
Published 23rd of June, 2019
Water Levels
On the 13th June, the Kouris Reservoir was 93.5% full, whereas on the 21st June it was 94.9% full. So in 8 days it has filled up by 1.4%!
For the middle of June, this is amazing. Who knows, will it overflow yet?
Church Spire
Finally, we have reached the far side of the reservoir. You can see the dam in the distance. But what's that on the spire?

That bird must be well chuffed. Their lunch has come to them.

There you have it. Kouris Dam is still filling up! Who would have thought it? It's been full before though, so we shouldn't get complacent.
It's lovely seeing all the reservoirs full again. It is not all plain sailing mind, I have lost a few decent shortcuts to the rising water.
One thing lacking in Paphos is a desalination plant. The perfect time to build one is when we don't actually need it. We have a few years leeway now, so we should make the most of it and get building before necessity drives the price up.

The Abandoned Rancho Appaloosa
I feel like apologising for the size of this blog, as it contains over 70 photos. However, this is a lovely place if you like urban exploring, and I felt that if I cut down the picture count I couldn't do it justice. I appreciate that it might not be for everybody though, so the first page contains spoiler photos of what to expect. If you find them interesting, then continue to the main blog!
Return to The Abandoned Ranch
The other day we saw an article about a mysterious church that had appeared in the Kouris Reservoir because of the low water level. When we got there it turned out to be a case of bad journalism. However, as we were in the area, we decided to revisit the abandoned Rancho Appaloosa, to see how much it had changed since we first found the place, in 2016.

The Asprokremmos Dam first started to overflow over a week ago. We filmed it at the time, but vowed to return once it had got into full swing...Related Pages

We've neglected the dams for a while. They've overflowed, and now the waters are subsiding, ever so slightly. But what of the reservoirs further afield? Kouris has a church which is nearly submerged when it is full. So we thought we better photographed this semi-submerged church while it is still semi-submerged.

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.
