The Hidden Delights of White River Beach - Akamas Cyprus
White River Beach has become famous over the years for its stone cairns that people keep building there. It is easy to find. From Paphos, get the Coast Road to Coral Bay and keep going. When you get to Agios Georgios follow the sign pointing to the Akamas. The road becomes bumpy, and winds down into White River Gorge. To actually access the beach you have to drive to the other side of the gorge and park there. From there you follow the route shown in this film.
Cairn building is actively discouraged here, as it interferes with turtles' nesting plans. If you must make one, do so on a rocky part, rather than in the sand. There is a sign to this effect left by the authorities.
Also note that there are no bins here, so take all rubbish home with you.

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.
