Moundiko Nature Trail - Part 1
Published 3rd of April, 2022
Bird's Eye View
Now would be the perfect opportunity to show you the drone footage I took on the first visit. Here you can see the farm we just passed. beyond that you can see where the road winds its way up the hill in the centre of the picture.
Above Snake Canyon
Slightly to the left, you can see the upper part of Snake Canyon and that large expanse of erosion.
To The Right
Whereas to the right, it all looks like wilderness. But in actual fact, Kathikas and the main road are in that direction.
White River Gorge
This is to the left of our trail, if we are facing towards the sea. We explored the area on the other side of the gorge a few months ago. You can just about make out the funny wall there. You can see the latter part of this nature trail on the right. We will be there towards the end of Part 2.
Beginning and End
This shot looks across Moundiko Plateau towards Avakas Gorge and Lara Bay. you can see the two tracks I mentioned previously.

We were out exploring in the Akamas the other day, and we came across this lovely old Olive Tree. I can't help wondering how long it has stood here...
Liesegang Rings in the Akamas
As 2016 draws to a close we decided to take a final trip to the Akamas. We have been trying to locate some interesting fossils we saw a few years ago, and the last couple of times we had tried we had ended up somewhere else. We found the right route this time though.
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.
Erosion
A few weeks ago, I read reports that some ancient human remains had turned up in a remote church near Kathikas. I presume the remains were placed by a tomb robber, but to be honest, the key phrase that stuck in my head was "remote church". After several attempts, the route to the location was found, and we paid it a visit.Related Pages

In this film we drive down from the Akamas to the right of White River Gorge. This is the gorge that forms a physical boundary between the Akamas and Peyia. We take an off-road track down to a lovely church, before descending to White River Beach itself. We then follow the road down to Agios Georgios, finishing at the harbour.

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.
