What Are These Mystery Tags?
Back To The Akamas
However, I found the oddest set of tags back on the Akamas. To get here, you will have to go beyond the Blue Lagoon, park up, and follow the coast round on foot. I covered the general route in this blog. If you stick to the coastline, and are observant, you may find the piece of wood above. "nm" visited this spot at numerous times between 2015 and 2016.
Nm Goes On...
Further along, I spied this rock, together with a little arrow.
And On...
I guess this particular trail could be a runner marking their route.
And On...
As I walked further around the Akamas shore, I found the occasional rock, labelled like this.
And On?
I stopped looking at this point, as I wanted to get back to the main path, so "nm" may well have continued his trail. Looking at the terrain though, I doubt it was a jogger. More likely a hiker perhaps?
So, does anybody know why these tags appear? If some of them are left by urban explorers, who happen to be reading this, can I remind you of the Urban Explorer's Motto: "Take Only Pictures, Leave Only Footprints". Tagging a stick in a remote area of the Akamas is harmless. But tagging Roudia Bridge is just vandalism. These places look fantastic on their own merits. They don't need to be tagged. If you want to record your visit, do it online. Send me photos of your locations with the geolocation and a timestamp, and I will happily turn the data into something viewable. Or do it yourself. Just stop defacing all these treasures!

Roudia Bridge
Now that we have covered the route from Vretsia to Kelefos, let's return to the subject of Venetian Bridges. This time, we will feature Roudia Bridge. For years this eluded us, as we drove past it without realising it was there. With the help of the previous blog, you should now be able to locate it and know where to park the car. So let's take a look at the bridge itself...
The Far Side of the Akamas
Last October when I had the weekend to myself, I resolved to do a geocache that had eluded me up until now, due to it's remoteness. Given that people were interested in the Akamas Church blog I posted a while back, I thought I would turn the photos I took into another blog...Good Pages To Visit

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.
