One day we will write a blog about the Tala Monastery (or Saint Neophytos, which is it's official name). However, they don't allow pictures inside, which is fair enough, but doesn't make for a very interesting blog.

Anyway, we were told by our friend that we should get down there because a waterfall is running which doesn't often run. So here we are. Actually, my wife stayed in the car at this point, as there was no point in both of us getting wet.

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...
