Chrysochou Hills
White Lines
This picture had me stumped for a while. I couldn't work out what all the white lines were on the landscape. They weren't visible on the previous shot, of almost the same scene. I think though, that they are just goat tracks. A fire recently ran through the area, so most of the ground there is charred black. The tracks stand out because of this.
Old Friend
This may look familiar to some of you. I blogged about the area (from the ground) a while ago, when I was out exploring. If you remember, I found a little gorge.
A Little Gorge
This is a birds-eye view of part of the gorge. It is certainly no Avakas beater, and there are many much bigger gorges in this area. Indeed, the aforementioned quarry is plonked in one of them, much to the annoyance of the Green Party.
Plateau From Above
This is the plateau from above. This view will look a lot different in a few weeks time.
Anyway, this scene is fairly typical of the countryside in Paphos. Don't be afraid to go out and explore it.
Relaxing Cyprus
This is the film I made. It is part of a relaxing series. I shall combine them all into one film soon, so you will be able to watch for over an hour. Until then, enjoy this segment!

The Paphos Countryside is a hidden gem, and outside the activity radar of many tourists, which is a shame. The other day we paused on the way back to a trip to the local Recycling Centre to take in the scenery, at one of our favourite viewpoints. In between storms, we were able to take some lovely pictures...

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.
