The State Of The Paphos Reservoirs
Published 13th of January, 2026
The View At Kannaviou
Now lets turn our attention the the reservoir at the top end of the Ezousa Valley. This is Kannaviou, and it is fed by water from Paphos Forest.
Back in 2022
It's a very pretty reservoir but it looks a lot nicer when it is full.
Empty Spaces
The descreased water level allowed me to look for any more bridges. I couldn't find one though.
This is the closest I could get to an interesting feature.
Paphos Forest
From Kannaviou Reservoir there are a number of decent tracks running into the heart of Paphos Forest. I wouldn't go exploring them right at this minute though, as hopefully they will be quite boggy now.

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.
