Looking Back

This surprised me. Looking back to the farm we had passed, there is a long, large stone wall surrounding it. I wonder why they bothered to make this? Is it to stop erosion or to keep the goats out?

Those Ruins Again

On the way downhill I was able to get a closer look at the ruins. I don't think there are enough to qualify it as an abandoned village though.

Clever Goat

There weren't that many goats on display when I passed through. It was close to midday though, so I imagine they were sheltering from the sun somewhere, like this one.

Junction

This is why I don't film on my first visit. I want to follow the gorge down, but the main track is heading away from it. A side track looks promising, but will it fizzle out?

Nice View

You get a nice view of Yeronissos Island from here, and that's Agios Georgios to its right.

The Akamas By Car

Nothing beats exploring the Akamas by car. A decent 4x4 can take you to places you would never normally find on foot, and the aircon can be a real life-saver. Some routes into the Akamas are bumpier than others. In this blog take a relatively bump free route which would suite the more cautious amongst you.
