Evretou Churches
To The Church
Ok, that's enough time in the grotto. Let's see what the church is like.
Fairly New
The church certainly isn't very old. The door is on the other side, but this view is a lot more interesting. Let's go in.
Pretty In Pink
The church is again fairly plain. It isn't as pink as this shot makes out. It is a trick of the light.
Few Pews
There are a few pews here. I wonder how many services are performed a year? I remember a couple of years ago, when we were exploring the churches of Letymbou. One of them had a sign which stated that it was only used once a year, on a certain Saints Day. I presume isn't used every sunday, otherwise, with the amount of churches in Cyprus, you would need an awful lot of priests.
Spot The Ball
We shall end our visit to the churches with our latest Spot The Ball image. You can now see where the location was. Congratulations to Max for being able to guess it. The quarry in the background was the giveaway.
Hope you are all surviving the lockdown and not going stir-crazy. If you enjoy these blogs, even the small ones like this one, please consider clicking on the "Buy Us A Coffee" icon you can see on the page somewhere. We have given all our advertisers a three month holiday on fees, to thank them for their support over the years and in recognition of the fact that they can't operate at the moment. However, this has caused a huge dent in our income stream, so all donations will be gratefully appreciated.
Happy Easter to everybody!
Καλό Πάσχα!

Exploring Evretou
We never get bored of exploring the Cyprus countryside in Springtime, This is a good job, as social distancing prevents us from blogging about anywhere vaguely populated. The other day we took our swanky new 360 camera for a spin. The pictures proved popular, especially to people pining for a holiday cut-short. So here are the pictures we took with our usual camera as we were on our travels.
The Evretou Grave
Last time we walked around Evretou Dam, we observed a solitary grave on the opposite bank, half way up a hill. After the blog was published we were approached by somebody who keeps a log of the Turkish Cypriot Graves on the island. He hadn't a record of this one, so I promised to revisit the area and get more information...
Evretou Reflections

Simou Church
A few sundays ago we were lucky enough to be visiting Simou when they were preparing for a Christening. The church which is normally locked, was open, so we had a quick look inside, and were stunned with what we found...
The Church of the Prophet Elias
As you drive to Polis on the B7, past Miliou, you will see a sign pointing to a church. If your Greek is as basic as ours, you will need Google Translate to tell you that it is the Church of the Prophet Elias. This is good to know, because you won't be able to find it on the map. When you see how small the church is, you will understand why...
The Church of Saints Kerykos and Ioulitta
It's time for another guest blog from Max. He's taken a break from enlightening us about crystals and rock formations in the Paphos area, and has gone in search of some interesting church murals in Letymbou.Related Pages

eBookCyprus 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.
