The Androlikou Countryside
Published 19th of March, 2023
Towards The Quarry
This track led further into the quarry itself, but I was more interested in the flora.
Bees
Below the quarry I could see a row of bee hives amidst a field of Olive Trees.
Impressive Cliff
There is a narrow valley here, though not quite a gorge. I have a thing about gorges. There are a number in the area, one of which was featured at the Akamas Geology Centre in Arodes. We featured that recently. We will investigage Petratis Gorge at a later date though.
There are some tracks down at the base of the valley. It would be interesting to get down there and have a walk.
What Lurks Below?
I could see a dried-up stream, and what looks like fairly short-cropped grass. Looks can be deceptive though. That grass could be three foot high and full of nettles!

MapAndrolikou Countryside
Androlikou is an old Turkish Cypriot Village in the Akamas, South West of Polis. It was largely abandoned after the invasion, though there are signs it is springing into life again. There is a quarry directly below it, which dominates the surroundings, but if you look past that you will see an amazing variety of countryside.

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.
