Pano Akourdaleia Nature Trail
Published 22nd of December, 2022
Into The Valley
So, where shall we end up?
Continue...
The path from here was still fairly good, though it was getting a little overgrown.
The Shelter
This is the shelter we saw. You cannot tell from the photograph but it is in fairly poor shape.
Information
On the slope, a few metres below, are the remains of an old flour mill, which was used by the inhabitants of Pano Akourdaleia and the people of the near by villages, to make their grain into flour and gruel. Flour-mills were situated along perennial streams and rivers, since the motive power was the running water. You will notice that the hole from where the water was passing through to move the mill is still visible. The mill has been destroyed on the first half of the 20th century, due a destructive flood and since then its operation ceasedl only the ruins are still visible.
There She Blows
So, the mill is not on the trail, but it is nearby? Do I walk past it, or do I climb down and have a look?

The Ezousa River carves a path through the Paphos countryside from Kannaviou down to Acheleia, entering the sea by Paphos Airport. In its wake it leaves some beautiful countryside and a wide variety of flora and fauna. This little walk takes you through some of the hills and fields surrounding the upper reaches of the Ezousa, near the village of Lemona. There are even some ruins for you to explore.

Arnies Nature Trail
Yesterday, for the first time since March, we drove somewhere in order to have a walk. It was magnificant! We didn't drive far, just down the road. There is a nature trail which we walked before Christmas, and we thought it was the perfect place to start reacquainting ourselves with the Cyprus countryside.Related Pages
MapPano Akourdaleia Nature Trail
This year I've spend a fair bit of time exploring the countryside around Akourdaleia. It fascinates me, partly because of its staggering beauty, and partly because it is unknown to most people. A huge gorge runs between it and Kritou Tera, yet it is invisible from any of the main roads. While investigating this gorge, I came across a Nature Trail I hadn't heard of before. So come with me as I explore 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.
