Vouni Path
More Views
As the trail winds its way up the hill you are soon presented with views of Paphos Forest itself.
To The Watchtower
Naturally enough, the views of the forest make the summit of the hill and ideal place to put a Fire Lookout Station. We will be heading towards this now.
Distant Kannaviou Reservoir
It was a lovely clear day when we took our hike, and we could see for miles. This is the view towards Chrysochous Bay. In the centre of the picture you can see Kannaviou Reservoir. If you look carefully, above it, you can just make out Evretou Reservoir peeping up over the ridge of hills.
Paphos Forest
And here is a better look at Paphos Forest. Doesn't it look lovely? Near the front of it you can just make out a golden strip. That is the old mine we visited a few years ago. Gosh, it was over 5 years since I wrote that. How time flies. You can no longer get to the mine by car. The area is closed to car traffic to encourage the growth of Cedar Trees.
Enjoy The View!
We're near the top now, and can see for miles.

Avakas Gorge
For some time I have been fascinated with exploring gorges in Cyprus, and have brought you reports of various nooks and crannies throughout the island. For various reasons I have yet to give you a tour of the Grand Daddy of them all, but a recent visit from my brother inspired me to take him on a trip up Avakas Gorge and give you a report on the full trail.
Paphos Forest Mine
Tucked away in the western slopes of Paphos Forest, lies an old mine. You won't ever have seen it unless you went looking for it, and even if you go looking for it you may not find it.Related Pages

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.
