Vouni Path
Vineyard Country
Most of the trail will take you through fields of grapes. The other major attraction is the absolutely amazing series of cliffs that dominate the area.
Another Viewpoint
We are now quite high above Pano Panagia. The view points provide a welcome break from the steep upload hike.
Information
There is quite a lot of waffle on the sign, but if you wade through that you will glean the following:
Hikers on the Vouni Panagias nature trail will have the opportunity to see and learn about the European habitat type 9540 - Pinus brutia forests, which is found at several places along the trail.
The dominant tree in this habitat is the Calabrian pine (Pinus brutia). In the understorey there are several tall and low shrubs: kermes oak, terebinth, rock-roses and other shrubs, subshrubs and herbaceous plants.
This Way
The trail gets a bit rough here, but a handy arrow shows you the correct route.
Men At Work
On our way up we passed some men who were felling some trees.

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.
