Burial Chambers
In the tomb are a couple of side-chambers which seemed to lead to the resting places themselves.
Olive Press?
These big stones were used a lot in Cypriot Farming. And they had even bigger ones in some locations. One of the strangest things I have found while exploring Cyprus was half a huge millstone sticking out the side of a hill. They hadn't finished carving it out, but for some reason the order was cancelled. You can read more about it in this article.
Bread Buddies
Now I know what these strange objects are. I saw similar in an Old Town Craft Shop and wondered what they were. One of the forum members informed me they were for making village bread.
Baker's Oven
And here is where the bread will have been baked.
Where's Me Washboard?
These paddles were an integral part of the Wash Room.

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.
