The Abandoned Village of Theletra - Part 2
Lost Garden

The garden I mentioned is terribly overgrown. There is no way I am going to make it through all those prickly brambles. While we are here, take a look at the building in the far distance. You can see some bluish rectangles above the doorway. That is our goal.

Old Creche?

Before retracing my steps, I poked my head into the room opposite. There were some ominous holes in the floor, as well as a primative crib. I had no idea how safe this floor was, so elected to remain outside.
Shocking Chair State Revealed

On returning down the staircase, I ran into the comfy chair I photographed earlier. From the front it doesn't look quite so inviting.
Below Stairs

Directly below the staircase is a very interesting room. There are loads of books scattered about the floor. On closer examination I found that they were a mix of text books and exercise books, from 1974.
Recognise Anybody?

This is nearly 50 years old! I think it was a Physics exercise book. Flicking through the pages, I could see they had been studying light, reflection and refraction. These buildings were obviously the old school. I wonder why they left all the books behind though. Surely they would need them in the new village?
I also found an old Maths Text Book, and boy was that confusing! The text accompanying the maths is all in Greek, naturally enough. Coupled with the Greek letters used in the equations themselves, it makes for a very complicated read.

From Miliou To Theletra
While we were exploring the sulphur springs of Miliou a few weeks ago, we couldn't help but notice a village in the distance.

So we thought we would find a scenic route between the two locations...

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.
