Akamas Road Update
Published 25th of February, 2024
Get Your Bearings
If you are unsure where White River Beach is, you can use Yeronissos Island as a guide. It is just along the coast from there, and therefore just along the coast from Agios Georgios.
Cairn Country
As the drone gets closer to the beach, you can see that it is covered in loads of stone piles, or cairns.
Now some people will moan about people building these cairns. Apparently it damages the local environment. Personally though, I am rather fond of them. Given that the winter storms will inevitably wipe the slate clean every year, do they really do that much harm?
Source?
So who builds all the cairns? Is there a local yoga group that use them as meditation aids? I have no idea.
On With The Road
Anyway, that's enough of the beach. Let's follow the road some more to see what they have been up to.

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.
