The Fruity Fields Of Theletra

Bamboo Passage
A lot of bamboo had been cleared away here. I wonder if they do anything with it or whether it is just treated as a weed?
Rocky Road
Technically you could drive up this but I wouldn't recommend it unless you removed all those boulders first.
Old Theletra
As I expected it to, the track emerged amongst the houses of Old Theletra.
Church View
Some of the houses in the lower part of Old Theletra are still inhabited. Not only that, but there are signs that some of the ruins are being renovated,
Back Down
I explored Old Theletra a while ago, so am not going to go into the village again now. Instead I shall go back down the track. I have to say that from this angle it doesn't look like something I would want to drive down!

Old Theletra was abandoned several decades ago. The threat of landslides drove the population up the hll to a new settlement. Since then the village has mainly been left to crumble, save for its church and a few buildings which are still inhabited. At first glance, there is not much to see here, aside from some picture-postcard views. But get adventurous, and there is a whole host of places to explore...Related Pages

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.
