Kannaviou Reservoir Overflows
Kannaviou Park
We stopped in the village of Kannaviou itself too, as the river runs through here. It is to the right of this shot. There is a footbridge in the distance, and that was my first port of call.
Bridge Over The River Ezousa
Imagine what it would be like if this river flowed all the time? It would be quite a tourist attraction.
The Road To Lapithiou
This bridge was certainly built to cope with an overflowing reservoir. It is much sturdier than most of the bridges you find along the valley floors of the Paphos District.
One Final Shot
From here, the waters will carve their way through the Ezousa Valley, past Choulou and the abandoned village of Pitargou. It will flow past Episkopi, where we recently tried driving cross-country. That route must be a complete no-go now! Finally it will enter the lower part of the valley, go under the motorway, before entering the sea to the East of Geroskipou Beach.
Now See The Film
This is a short film we made of the reservoir. Enjoy!

I took my drone up to Kannaviou Reservoir again last week, to practice film making. Unfortunately, I left the sim card at home. Fortunately the drone has some built-in storage so I was at least able to capture some rather nice photographs...Related Pages

Kannaviou Reservoir is the fourth biggest reservoir in Cyprus. It is situated at the top of the Ezousa Valley, below Pano Panagia. Last night it overflowed, which doesn't often happen, so we took our cameras along this morning to film it.

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.
