Oreites Wind Farm

So now you know what is inside the tower. A ladder. Presumably it allows engineers to access the generator in the turbine. I would imagine it would be a bit loud in there when the turbine is running, but presumably they switch them off before performing maintenance.
Naked Tower
And there's the semi-assembled tower. For some reason, when you see the components, it all looks a bit smaller than when it is fully assembled.
Back To Reality
Back in the present day, we can see Archimandrita in the far distance.
Oreites From Archimandrita
We had decided to drive up to Dora and beyond, to do a reccy on a future road trip. However, as we left Archimandrita I took a last look at the wind farm and was stunned with how beautiful it looked.
I love it when Cyprus turns green. Every year it comes as a surprise.

We touched briefly then, on its abandoned neighbour, but got distracted with other things before we were able to visit it and tell you what we found. Better late than never, here is our look at Kato Archimandrita, a village abandoned due to its remoteness and ruled now by goats.Related Pages

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.
