Above White River Gorge
Published 26th of September, 2021
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 Far Side of the Akamas
Last October when I had the weekend to myself, I resolved to do a geocache that had eluded me up until now, due to it's remoteness. Given that people were interested in the Akamas Church blog I posted a while back, I thought I would turn the photos I took into another blog...

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.

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.
