Journey Towards The Blue Lagoon
A couple of months ago I drove to the Blue Lagoon on the Akamas, as I wanted to fly my drone. Unfortunately, the heavens opened making drone flying impossible. Well, it is possible, but the camera gets blocked by rain. So the other day I returned, on a gloriously bright sunny day. The road was a lot tougher this time. The winter rains had washed off a lot of topsoil, making the going a lot tougher.
I stopped just before the lagoon itself, for two reasons. Firstly, I wanted to film the lagoon and surrounding coast, so it made sense to start away from the lagoon itself. That way I could get more coast in. Secondly, the road ahead of me lookede badly eroded, and I was on my own. So I didn't fancy taking any chances.
Never drive out of your comfort zone. It isn't worth it. Believe me!

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.
