Paphos Forest Mine
Catching Up With Old Friends

Once we had checked out the lake, we thought we would have a look at the other pool we had found in the winter. Unfortunately it had not fared well in the heat.

Mud, Mud, Glorious Mud

Anybody up to a spot of highly chemical mud-wrestling?

All that remained of the pool was this rather toxic puddle. What would analysis of a water sample from here reveal, I wonder?

You can get a clue from looking at a completely dried up puddle. that would certainly put hairs on your chest...

So there you have it. Another mine that has ravaged the countryside yet managed to remain strangely beautiful, to me at least. Unlike Limni, there are no plans to turn this into a golf course. Indeed, I believe that there may even be plans to do some more mining here. Time will tell. If you do plan on taking a visit, you do so entirely at your own risk. Be prepared for a walk, and take plenty of water and some decent boots. Alternatively, fly there in a helicopter.

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.
