A Drive Through Androlikou, Cyprus. April 2021
Androlikou is a little village on the north-eastern slopes of the hills that surround the Akamas. Lying just above Prodromi, Prior to the 1974 Turkish invasion it was a Turkish Cypriot village, and it took refugees from the neighbouring Neo Chorio during the intercommunal fights of the 50s and 60s.
Since the invasion it has been abandoned, though life does seem to be returning.
Below Androlikou is a big, working quarry, and some beautiful gorges. Above it lies the similarly abandoned village of Fasli. This route follows - in reverse - part of our second Cyprus Road Trip. If you like watching these films and want to try something similar yourself, they are well worth getting.

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.
