This took me by surprise though, on the way back to the car. It is the reverse of the religious icon we saw on the way down. I presume that is Mary in the shot, but there appears to be some sort of imp or devil to her bottom right. Does anybody know what this signifies?

We now arrive at a junction. One thing to note is that the signs are all in Greek. It is a common myth that 99% of Cypriots speak English. That may be true in the tourist areas, but if you venture out into rural Cyprus, this is not the case. And why should it be? This doesn't mean you will need an interpreter. Just bear in mind that if somebody speaks to you in broken English, it will be a lot better than any broken Greek you can muster. Also, a hearty Yassas (hello) and Efharisto (thank you) will work wonders.

Anyway, first things first. We shall take the high road, but will return here later to take the low road.

We soon come to a church. Finding a church in a Cypriot village is a lot easier than not finding one. I don't know the name of this church though, and as it was Sunday morning when we visited, I didn't venture inside for fear of encroaching on a service. I did look on Google Maps later. There is a church marked in the village, but a review of it refers to a location 25km away, in Paphos Forest.

There is another junction here too. If you are exploring in a car and planning where to go next, be wary of heading towards Saramas. The drive to Anadiou is easy enough, but after that the road deteriorates somewhat. After rain it can be extremely treacherous, as the soil is a fine white powder which has the consistency of slushy ice after rain. Admitedly it has been a couple of years since I last drove the route, and it might have improved. But if you are in a hire car you are better off heading for Fyti.

I walked around the church, and stopped to admire the view. Not too shabby, is it?
