Panagia Hills
Square Rocks
This is a close-up of one of the funny rocks I mentioned. It looks like a huge cube, and there is another one just behind it.
The Cubist Movement
These cubes seem to have originated from this rock face.
Familiar Formations
Eventually we ran out of arrows to follow, and took a number of wrong turns. Having to reverse out of a vineyard can be fun. After a while though, we ran out of options, and came to a dead end. The rocks here reminded me of the ones we saw above the village of Foinikas, in the Xeros Valley.
I wanted to get some decent shots while I was here, so I left the car and fought my way through some rather prickly undergrowth. When it gets a bit cooler and I can wear long trousers again, this sort of journey will be a lot more comfortable.
Distant Vretsia
I loved being up here though. I remember looking up from Vretsia on numerous occasions and wondering about the strange cliffs I could see in the far distance. Now I was on top of them. The next few pictures speak for themselves.

The temperatures are finally beginning to recede from their summer highs, so we are able to go out exploring for more than half an hour without melting. In this adventure we took a wrong-turn and ended up in a part of Paphos we had hitherto only spied from afar.

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.
