Kato Pyrgos lies to the East of Pomos and Pachyammos, on the North West coast of Cyprus. It is a beautiful stretch of coastline, and will form part of our third roadtrip ebook. In this film we drive up to the ancient watchtower, taking in the harbour along the way.

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.

Peyia Bridge

We recently published a film of the unusual Bailey Bridge at Trozena which proved quite popular. And in the past we have featured the famous Trimiklini Double Bridge, and a host of Venetian Bridges.
