Water Feature
This is probably a fountain during warmer times. The chap above it worked for the local municipality, and was taking down the Christmas Decorations.
Scratch - n - Sniff
This picture works better if you have a logfire burning nearby. The smoke coming from this chimney smelled lovely. Is it just me who likes that smell?
Salamiou Map
These maps can be quite useful for finding hidden treasures in a village. Apparently, Salamiou has its own cinema. I wonder if it is still in operation?
Lovely Salamiou
So sit tight, Salamiou. We will return later in the year to give you the treatment you deserve.
Kelefos Bridge Walking Tour and Drone Footage
I shall leave you with the film I made at Kelafos Bridge. In the final part of this article, coming very soon, I drive across the Ezousa Valley, pop into a mural-filled church, visit an abandoned village, and end at another waterfall I hadn't seen before. So stay tuned...

Abandoned Villages - Trozena
If you've driven over the iron bridge which lies just beyond the abandoned village of Gerovasa, near the outskirts of Paphos Forest, then you will also have driven past the abandoned village of Trozena. Unless you are very observant, you won't have noticed it though, as it is barely visible from the road. It is worth taking a detour to explore the ruins, as these photos will hopefully show...

Winter Water Features
The Asprokremmos Dam is due to overflow any time now, and the vendors are already setting up stall in anticipation. For many people this will be the beginning and their end of their water-based sight-seeing tour. However, last year revealed that Paphos has a lot more to offer than just overflowing dams, so we decided to check up our personal favourite of last winter.
Trozena Waterfall
When we visited Trozena last May, we read about a mysterious waterfall. Mysterious because though we could see remnants of an old stream in a picnic area between the village and the church, there was no waterfall at all. But then it rained. A lot. And somebody said there was a waterfall at Trozena. So we went and had a look. If you see one water feature after all the rains, you should make sure it is this one. It is spectacular...Related Pages

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.
