The Pomos Coast
Hissing Sid
Yep, there was a sunbathing snake nestled on the rocks. Is this a blunt nosed viper or a coin snake?
I was amazed I spotted it, as it was very well camoflagued. I guess I must be getting more alert to them, which is a good skill to have out here. I even came across one in the ruins of the Archaeological Park, at the 40 Column Fort. It is a bit surprising as I wouldn't expect them to be around at this time of year.
I filmed the snake as well, but it won't be the most interesting film in the world. It didn't move once and I only know for certain that it was alive because when I returned a minute later it had vanished.
Barren Pools
It's a nice area to explore, and it isn't too much of a scramble to get down to the shoreline.
Spring Has Sprung
And the flowers are beginning to appear! Yay! Over the next few months Cyprus goes into bloom and even mundane areas will be awash with colour.
Mystery Memorial
No idea who this cross is for. Dread to think, really. There must be some grim history from around here.
Final Look
As stated, we do need to cover the area around Pomos more, as it is lovely. This was only a brief stop on our day's outing. I thought it deserved it's own blog, but rest assured, we will cover the area properly and give it the exposure it deserves in future reports.

Liesegang Rings in the Akamas
As 2016 draws to a close we decided to take a final trip to the Akamas. We have been trying to locate some interesting fossils we saw a few years ago, and the last couple of times we had tried we had ended up somewhere else. We found the right route this time though.Related Pages
MapThe Pomos Coast
Pomos is quite a trip from Paphos, but it is most definitely worth it. We were up that way to visit some abandoned villages and overflowing reservoirs this week, but stopped to take in the coast along the way. The countryside up there is breathtaking, and well worth a visit. Here's a short selection of what to expect.

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.
