Vournia Nature Trail
A Final Sign
Συκαμια - Blackberries
This puzzled me when I was translating. Obviously brambles and blackberries are different things in Greek. I would guess that the brambles signposted earlier don't have the fruit, and are much thinner (and pricklier) than the blackberry bush we all know and love.
The track winds itself around the side of a well-kept vineyard.
The Circle Is Complete
We're now back at the Water Feature. You may well hear some dogs barking here. There is also something weird in a tree.
Strange Decoration
For some reason a child's tricycle is dangling from the tree here. I can only imagine why. I am often see bears used to frighten the birds (Scare Bears?) but a kid's bike is a new one on me.
Watchful Eyes
This was the source of the barking dogs. Above the water feature was a house, and in the garden of the house these dogs patrolled.
Anyway, turn left here and you will soon be back where we started. As I said at the start, this is only a small walk. The article is so long because I wanted to translate all the signs into English. I do apologise if I have got any wrong though. I am by no means an expert.
If you are interested in other, longer walks, see our dedicated section on Paphos Walks.

A short walk through the countryside around Kallepia
Now that we are getting the occasional dry day again we thought it time we started our selection of blogs on walks in and around the countryside of Paphos. For our first excursion we are visiting the village of Kallepia, situated near the Ezousa Valley and Minthis Hills Golf Course.
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...Related Pages

After the excesses of Christmas we thought a few brisk walks were in order. If you are not used to exercise, then you should start gently. Fortunately, in Kallepeia, there is a Nature Trail that is only 1.5km long and a perfect way to ease yourself back into shape.

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.
