Tsada Dog Kennels
Oops
There was also an animal skull, which looked suspiciously like it belonged to a dog.
Spooky Room
Now this was a puzzle. Why would this particular kennel still have its doors intact, and, whats more, be closed? If this was a horror story, there would be an ancient beast living trapped in there. Left behind and forced to survive by eating beetles. I like a good horror story, and consequently I opened the door with a bit of trepidation. I jumped out of my skin when I did so, because something moved inside. I soon realised that it was actually the roots of a plant that were attached to the rear of the door. As I moved it it pulled the roots, giving the impression of movement in the darkness...
Treasure
There was also a tin opener in the courtyard. We left it where it was, as we are quite happy with the one we have at home.
Extra Cages
Beyond the kennels were some more fenced areas. I wonder what these were for? Was it a sin bin for naughty dogs?
Final View
And that is the abandoned dogs kennel. If anybody has any further information on it please let us know.
-- UPDATE --
Just received this information that sheds some light on the kennels:
I've been there once, when the kennel was still in use. The owner was a proper dog trainer and one of my dogs spend some time there when we went on a short holiday. The owner loved my dog and my dog loved the owner. I was recommended this place by Dr. Pambos, the vet close to the Blue Cross Medical center.

As mentioned earlier, Alex was with me on the trip, and she had her own camera...

The Paphos to Polis Motorway - Part 1
A new motorway is coming to Paphos. It will link the existing A6 motorway to the North West coast of the island, reduce travel time, and aid congestion on the B7. That's the plan, anyway. Alternatively, it will destroy precious natural areas and be an expensive waste of money. We decided to take a look at the proposed route for ourselves, so now at least you will know exactly where the motorway will go. Possibly.

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.
