The Official Start

This looks like the official start mentioned in the leaflet.
That Cursed Fruit

Συκία - Fig
I'm allergic to figs. It is my own fault. I used to quite like them, but I made the mistake of heavily pruning our garden fig tree without due care and attention. I wanted to keep all the branches and sticks for fire wood, so I plucked all the leaves off them. Eventually, the fig tree fights back, and a chemical within the leaves built up to sufficient levels in my hands to become toxic. I soon had tiny blisters appearing all over the place. They didn't really hurt, but were annoying. I popped into a local chemist and showed them my condition, and they gave me a cream, which was very effective.
Ever since then though, if I even touch a fig leaf, my hand gets very itchy.
Water Feature

There is a water feature here too, which is more functional than ornamental.

Kallepia Caving
We've visited a few shrine caves on our travels through Cyprus. Most of them are fairly shallow though, and don't require a torch to explore. The Agios Konstantinos and St. Helen chapel is different. If you enter the cave there, you better come equipped with illumination...Good Pages To Visit

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.
