The Grey Cliffs of Paphos - Part 3
Smart Operation
I've seen a number of dig sites around Cyprus, and this is one of the neatest and most well maintained.
Sheltered Area
This was the closest I got to the site, so I have no idea if anything is in the shadows under that roof. I like the brick weights they have used to keep it secure.
End Of The Line
And that's as far as I could get. I was about to go back to the car but I got a call from Alex. She was able to pick up our daughter so I didn't have to worry. This meant I could also explore that cliff I had walked by earlier.
One Final View
So I took one more shot, and started to head back.
Interesting Wall
Next to the dig site there is a wall. I wonder how old it is? The developers had to down tools while they archaeologists performed their dig. So I doubt this will be here for much longer. Or perhaps they will turn it into a feature? It would certainly make a nice centrepoint for a shared garden.

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.
