Last saturday my wife and I were in Paphos with a couple of hours to kill. So we decided to take a trip up the Diarizos Valley. Being on the Paphos / Limassol border, this valley is on the edge of the Paphos Life radar. However, it has a wealth of sites to visit, as you shall see over the coming weeks. Our specific destination was the abandoned village of Gerovasa. There is a fascinating bridge near to it, and we visited the village itself a few years ago, to do a geocache. However, on our way up the valley, we spotted some ramshackle buildings on the other side of the valley, and decided to take a detour...

Fabulous scenery and photography Dominic.......very interesting blog again
I love these abandoned villages but I must admit that I do feel sad for the people who had to abandone their homes as they all appear to have the most beautiful views......

That wasn't white knuckle! You wait until I post a couple of Ezousa Valley clips. We nearly got flooded in one of them. The wife was not too happy... :)
