Paphos in Autumn

Published 22nd of November, 2019

Repaired Track

The fishermen have cleared this track to the water's edge. It was overgrown for quite a while earlier in the year. And I have to say that the fishermen who frequent Foinikas are MUCH less messy than those that were littering Evretou Reservoir a few weeks ago. I didn't see much litter here at all.

Back Home

One more shot for luck. Now it is time to head for Nata and cut through the Ezousa Valley to Polemi.

Distant Episkopi

This shot was taken on the road from Nata to Episkopi. You can see the famous rock which looks like a huge church organ. But I took the picture because I loved all the colours in the valley.

Drive Carefully!

We weren't expecting this. The bridge across the Xeros River has been demolished and they are building, I presume, a new one. The diversion takes you through an easy-enough route though. We could have headed back up to Minthis Hills Golf Course and home that way. However, I decided to drive up the valley instead.

Autumn Shades

Vineyards and orchards look lovely in autumn.

Abandoned Villages - Foinikas

Foinikas has a special place in our family's hearts. It was the first abandoned village we explored in Cyprus, some ten years ago. We have returned to it each time we visited Cyprus, and consquently have more pictures than we could ever possibly want of the village and surrounding area. We posted some of them on our blog about the Asprokremmos Reservoir. We wanted some up-to-date photos for the Abandoned Village blog series. So last saturday we revisited Foinikas, and couldn't believe what we found when we got there...

Foinikas Heights

We love Foinikas, the abandoned village on the banks of the Asprokremmos Reservoir. We've already blogged about it twice though, so we thought we would take a look at some of the surrounding countryside, and see what else the valley has to offer. Hopefully we will show you that you can find stunning, remote scenery only a stones-throw from Paphos. You don't need to travel all the way to the Akamas or Troodos to lose yourself in rugged beauty...

Foinikas Revisited

When we first blogged about Foinikas it was springtime, and the abandoned village was bathed in a sea of yellow. It was always an essential destination on our holidays, but we had never been in Spring, so it came as a pleasant surprise. However, it made it difficult to explore, as you never know what you might tread on when you have to wade through thigh-high flowers. As frequently happens with our blogs, people posted more information about the site in the comments. So we decided to pay another visit a few days ago, and explore it in more depth...

Foinikas by the Lake

The abandoned village of Foinikas lies on the banks of the Asprokremmos Reservoir. Now that the waters are lapping at the village boundaries, we thought we would pay it another visit, to see how it looks now.

Foinikas Is Cut Off!

While Paphos waits for the Asprokremmos Dam to overflow, we thought we might as well photograph the rest of the reservoir, which is to all intents and purposes, now full. So we set off to Foinikas looking for some beautiful landscape nature shots. We didn't get very far though...
