Paradise and Hell Part #2

In the second part of this series we start at Prodromos Junction and continue towards Adonis Baths. Soon we pass the track that leads to Martiri Bridge, but we have already published a film about that. Instead, we continue across the side of the valley until we take a sharp right turn that plunges us towards the bottom. There is a cultivated area towards the bottom of the valley, after which the road is at its trickiest. Once you make it up to the Solar Panels on the other side, you just have to follow the powerlines to get back to civilisation.

Wow, and you call that a road? Was the snake sleeping or dead at 5.10 and what was that tourist car doing there on the wrong side of the road near the end?
Although a very beautiful area, to me the road is hell.

I wondered about the car too. We did go past a building just before we met them though, so perhaps they were going there? The fact that they were hugging the hill so much would indicate that they didn't like the bumpy track.

I think the snake was dead. I didn't stop to look.

What a track not many vehicles go along the other side with the vegetation brave I always think puncture 😩

Do you think the tourist car 🚗 took a left instead of a right or a right instead of a left they were going to have a shock if they carried on much further

Thanks Dominic very interesting

Thanks for sharing. Dont think I will be driving this route. When I first went to Cyprus 20 years ago I used to think these roads were just tracks into farmers fields then realised they were actually roads.

You have to be careful, because a lot of the tracks do lead to dead ends.
