Tremithousa Gorge
If you drive through Tremithousa from the Mesogi Road Paps, taking the low road, you will pass what looks like a charming landscaped gorge. As we normally drive the route on the way to somewhere else, we don't usually have time to stop for a look. The other day, I made time, and this is what I found.
Bridge Over The River Koskinas
this is the usual scene I see when I drive down this way - a well-maintained bridge over an inviting gorge.
Park Here
There is a layby just past the bridge, so I pulled over there. As you can see, the grounds here are also very well manicured. I wish our lawn looked like that.
Not An Amphitheatre
I have to admit that on previous journeys I had seen the rocks you see here and assumed them to be part of an amphitheatre. The spotlights add to that effect.
Standard Shrine
The presence of a shrine here should come as a surprise to nobody. You find shrines like this (though rarely so well maintained) all over Cyprus.
Nice Walkway
Anyway, once I parked, I headed back to the bridge, and took this walkway that runs to the right of it. There is another path to the right of this as well. We shall come to that in a bit.

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.
