Winter Waterfalls
Time for a Booty
By mistake I was wearing hiking boots. I should have worn wellington boots. However, I took one for the team in order to get some nice footage.
Not Safe To Climb
There must be some spectacular shots in the gorge about that waterfall now. But it is way to slippery to climb.
There is a film showing this and other places we visited today. You can get a better view there.
Beautiful
It was a lovely sight. However, we couldn't spend all day here.
The Road To Peyia
We then took the back road from Akoursos to Peyia, as we wanted to check Coral Bay. Sadly, beaches are at the mercy of the elements, and in the past we have known whole beaches to get washed away. This happened to one of the beaches at the Blue Lagoon, but we also remember it happening back in Devon, England. There was a lovely beach called Duck Pond which got stripped of its sand a few years ago. We hoped the same thing hadn't happened to Coral Bay.
However, on the way there, it was clear that there were other things that also needed photographing. When I got out of the car to photograph these rocks I couldn't help but notice a small mudslide happening in the hill next to me.

The Legend of Akoursos
Akoursos is a little village situated above Coral Bay, nestled in the hillside. It is off most people's radars and most visitors are probably tourists still searching in vain for the "suitable for all vehicles" road that will take them to Aphrodite's Water Baths. The other week we drove through there just so we could explore the hills behind it. While passing through, we couldn't help but notice a striking cave, embedded high up a cliff face. We decided to investigate...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.
