There is a lovely nature trail there, with a mysterious bus stop.

Because it is in the middle of nowhere!
If you go up the nature trail, past the old abandoned church and village, and down across the valley, you end up on a slightly precarious track that eventually comes to a crossroads of sorts. There is a water pump here, and also a bus stop, though quite obviously there hasn't been a bus there for many years.
Incidently, if you like geocaching, there is an excellent series of caches along this trail.
I also like the old playground the have in the middle of the valley, by the stream. If you go at the right time of year you can walk along the bank and hear a cascade of plops as the frogs leap from the banks into the safety of the water. I don't know why, but I like the rotting swings, that look perfectly servicable from a distance, but up close look like they would collapse if you sat on them.
Sometimes, if we are coming back from The Troodos in our trusty 4x4, we will come off the motorway by the dam, drive up through Foinikas then across from Nata to Episkopi, before coming back through the valley and the latter half of the nature trail. It is a gentle off-roading trip which is suitable for taking our parents on.

Re: Episkopi (Paphos) part of Paphos 2017 program
OK, I know the area very well as I live there. I used to go walking from Tsada Golf down to the old Turkish village
Moro Nero, the church Agios Gennadiou, and the spring which is running even in August. Then crossing the river,
passing the picnic site, having a drink at Episkopi tavern, and back up the hill towards Tsada Golf (25km)
But I never can remember seen a bus station in the valley.
Did you mean your trip back home was via the abandoned Turkish village Pitargou, Letymbou, Polemi?
May be you like watching the photos from flickr., showing the church (very old) and some places nearby....click right hand side...
Obviously Greek and Turkish Cypriot lived there together as there are only Greek names.
