The Twelve Churches of Polemi
Get Out More
Not only does it have a lot of churches though. It also has lovely countryside waiting to be explored.
Polemi From Above
The final two shots were taken by our drone. This one shows our beloved Polemi nestled in the countryside.
Distant Polemi Mountain
And this one shows Polemi Mountain! If you don't believe it is a mountain, go to its summit. There is a sign there that proves it. Not only that, but recently I mentioned to a Cypriot man that I lived in Polemi. He replied that a relative of his lived there, near the mountain.
So there you have it. Now, you might well argue that it is in fact Stroumbi Mountain, but that is a can of worms I am not going to touch. Suffice it to say, it is part of a very beautiful landscape.
Tour The Skies
As promised at the start of the blog, we shall leave you with a couple of treats. The first is a little of of the skies over Polemi, captured using our drone.
Polemi Skies - The Movie
The second shows the drone flying over the Polemi countryside. Just think, there are about a dozen churches down there somewhere, in one form or another!

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.
