From Last Castle to Pano Arodes
View Point
There is a viewpoint on the way up the hill, with a sign showing you the route of the nature trail. There is also a bench here. There were also a couple of sofas at one point, but they seem to have been taken away now.
You would think I would be surprised to find a sofa out in the middle of nowhere, but I am used to it now. They aren't just fly-tipped either. Often a chair in a remote location will indicate that a Goat Herder traverses the area.
Arodes Road
The drive from there to Arodes is fairly uneventful. There are a few potholes to watch out for though.
Pano Arodes
Finally we arrive in Pano Arodes, and I must say it is looking pretty swanky. There is a slight fisheye on the camera lens to give a wider field of vision. It works great for country scenes, but is more noticable around buildings.
Parting Shot
So there you have it. We use sections of this route quite a lot and it is actually a fairly efficient way of getting to the Last Castle. The film is just over twenty minutes long. It will be along shortly, so watch out for that in a day or so.
The Map
This is the route. It is only really suitable for a 4x4 in some places, so bear that in mind.

Nothing beats exploring the Akamas by car. A decent 4x4 can take you to places you would never normally find on foot, and the aircon can be a real life-saver. Some routes into the Akamas are bumpier than others. In this blog take a relatively bump free route which would suite the more cautious amongst you.Akamas Narcissus
The Akamas is home to an abundance of wildflowers, from orchids to wild tulips. Near Arodes, there is a certain field set aside for a small yet very beautiful flower. Come and say hello to the Akamas Narcissus.Pano Arodes
Pano Arodes is one of the gateways to the Akamas. It is a charming village between Kathikas and Droushia. We will be featuring it in our next eBook, so recently visited it to do some research. Naturally enough, we took lots of pictures while we were there...Is this the Oldest Olive Tree in Cyprus?
