The Paphos to Polis Motorway - Part 2
Tunnel-Top
Here we are on the other side of the Kallepeia road, which you can see to the right. The tunnel is below us.
Tunnel Mouth
I'm guessing the motorway emerges from that hill, and travels to the right of this spot. I say guessing, because there are a lot of narrow valleys and gorges around here, on different levels. Without having detailed plans, and a lot more patience, it is impossible to say exactly where the tunnel will emerge.
Kallepeia Junction
It is interesting to note on the map that there is a motorway junction planned here. This will be good news for the good people of Kallepeia, as it will turn the motorway from something that merely passes through their land to something that actually benefits them.
This Way
Once past the junction, the motorway continues through this remote area. I think it will be to the left of that white cliff you can see in the centre. There is another tunnel, but that is for the ridge you can see behind the cliff, to its left.
Stunning View
I've said it before and I will say it again, the views along the course of this motorway will be breathtaking. Compare this to the brown featureless hills and valleys you see along some of the other motorways.

The Paphos to Polis Motorway - Part 1
A new motorway is coming to Paphos. It will link the existing A6 motorway to the North West coast of the island, reduce travel time, and aid congestion on the B7. That's the plan, anyway. Alternatively, it will destroy precious natural areas and be an expensive waste of money. We decided to take a look at the proposed route for ourselves, so now at least you will know exactly where the motorway will go. Possibly.

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.
