Hunting The Bee Orchid
Published 6th of April, 2021
Budding Blooms
Unfortunately, but inevitably, there is no tulip festival this year. This is another victim of the dreaded pandemic.
We Shall See You Later
There may well be a dedicated tulip blog in about a week or two. It depends on how impressive they get.
Spring Blooms
It's not all about the tulips though. And indeed, next to the tulip field itself there is a wealth of colour.
To The Akamas
So, on to the main course. In the past we have found bee orchids in the Akamas, behind Avakas Gorge, to be precise. Let's head for the hills...
Avakas Gorge From Behind
There is the famous gorge. I took the panoramic shots with our drone. There is a film at the end of the blog too, if you like scenery.

MapHunting The Bee Orchid
Cyprus is blessed with a variety of orchids which appear in the valleys and fields every spring. While not as exotic as some, they are nonetheless worth checking out if you are out getting some socially-distanced exercise. My favourite variety is the bee orchid, and last weekend we decided to go on a hunt for them.

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.
