The Ancient Cemetery At Souskiou - Historical Cyprus


A while ago we featured some of the lesser known Archaeological Sites in and around Paphos. Now we are broadening our horizons and showing you two parts of an ancient cemetery near the village of Souskiou, which is itself abandoned. If you want to see what was uncovered here, go to the Archaeological Museum of Paphos. If you see anything labelled "Souskiou" or "Souskiou Cemetery" then it probably came from here.

Cyprus 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.
