From Dora to Trozena, October 2021


In this film we drive from Dora to Trozena. We also traverse the Bailey Bridge which was built by British forces about 70 years ago. We then drive up through the abandoned village of Trozena, and finish at a church overlooking the Diarizos Valley.

As an experiment we used two cameras in this film, so at times the scene will cut to a side-view showing a spectacular panorama. Let us know what you think of it.

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.
