Paphos - Armou - Minthis Hills - Kallepeia

Post by Dominic »

In this film we start just past the main Post Office in Paphos, and drive up to the International School of Paphos and Mesa Chorio. We turn right just after the Archangel Michael Hospice, and take a sometimes-bumpy track to Armou. We stop along the way to enjoy the view.

After Armou we head up to Minthis Hills, which is looking a lot more "finished" now. We drive through that and turn right to Kallepeia. Here we take the first road into the village, and emerge on the other side, on the track to Ammati Cave, which is where we end the journey.

This route is over a half an hour long, and is a perfect one to follow along with if you are on an Exercise Bike!

One final point - the film was recorded in 5K. Rather than reduce the size to 4K I have kept the original dimensions, but cropped the picture. This allows me to pan the camera a bit as the film progresses, so I can show more of one side of the road than the other. Please let us know if you like, hate or didn't even notice the difference!

Your film is not showing how bad the speed bumps on the Minthis Hills road.
The rubber ones rattel your teeth out at all speeds!
I know I have been through a few times in the last few weeks.

I discovered the Mesa Chorio - Armou route when I was shooting pictures for the Garden of Memories at the hospice. I was curious where it went so followed it. It was my first time driving through Armou, and I got lost. Getting lost while driving through Armou happened quite frequently after that, and it was only by chance that I wasn't caught up a dead end when I made this film.

I use the other route to Mesa Chorio which brings you out in the centre of the village, Armou is not the easiest village to drive around.
