Routhouni Bridge
We've shown you a number of Venetian Bridges over the years, but today we're going a bit further back in time. Routhouni Bridge is a Frankian Bridge, which is even older. It can be found in the countryside near to the village of Amargeti. Let's go and take a look.
The Road To Amargeti
Finding the bridge is not easy, so we are going to give you a detailed description of the route. We also include a map at the end.
We start out on the E606. This is the road that runs from Agia Varvara up to Pano Panagia. We recently featured the route in several 360 films which were also uploaded to Google Street View. In this instance however, we shall turn left here, and head towards Amargeti.
Amargeti Countryside
This is the kind of countryside we shall be driving through. It is not as green as it was a few weeks ago. The heat of the soon-to-be-summer sun is beginning to turn the landscape brown.
Turn Left Here
Soon after your turning, you need to turn left again here.
Nice Wall
Not strictly relevant to this blog, but I did like the wall in front of the house you pass on your right.
Very Nice
I liked the repeating pattern.

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.
