Topographical Maps Of Cyprus - Review
And OpenStreetMap
OpenStreetMap shows a bit more information. But again, different league.
Avakas View
This view shows the Avakas Gorge from above. There is a reason we are here, which will become apparent later.
Avakas Ghosts
Here's a funny thing. When we were taking these pictures, we saw a couple of people on the far side of the gorge. At one point I thought they waved at us. But when I was processing the pictures later, I zoomed in, and the people turned out to be just shadows.
Roudia Bridge
Anyway, lets have a look at Roudia Bridge. We know the area well, and can testify that the book is accurate. Note the track shown running from the bridge to the two mills.
Google Comparison
According to Google, that track doesn't exist. However, we know for a fact it is there, because we walked along it when we did our Venetian Bridges In Winter blog. What's more, the track they do actually show is much less widely used.

Recently we saw an advert for a new book of Cyprus Maps on Facebook, which perked our interest. We contacted the publisher and they kindly sent us a review copy. We've spent a few weeks scrutinising it, and here are our findings.

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.
