Halloween Mysteries
Old Tin Shed
There's an old tin shed here. Above it you can just make out the building I was in. The shed is surrounded by very prickly undergrowth, including the dreaded caper.
Bullet Holes
There are a lot of bullet holes in the side of the shed. It looks like hunters use it for target practice.
Empty Room
It took a painful struggle, but I finally managed to get inside. There was absolutely nothing there, and it looked like it flooded regularly. You can see all the bullet holes towards the ceiling though.
So there are a few mysteries. If anybody has any information on the railway or those strange dates, please let us know. Also, if you have access to any old maps of the area from the 70s, please let us know as well. We would love to see them.
Now, as Bonfire Night is fast approaching, I thought I would promote some of the local firework displays. For obvious reasons, Bonfire Night isn't really celebrated in Cyprus, but there are two official displays. I have included their adverts below, along with links to the appropriate facebook pages.
If you do decide to have your own fireworks, please reconsider. The chances of starting a fire are quite high. The landscape is still very dry, so go to a display instead.
Fun at Episkopi Garrison
Please note that this one is actually on the saturday before bonfire night.
A Big Deal In Geroskipou!
This one looks to be a good one, though it is more expensive. Gates open at 6PM, with the display starting at 9PM. There is loads of entertainment beforehand as well.

Happy Halloween!
As it is Haloween and the spirits of the departed are set to walk the Earth, placated only by sweets and small denomination coins, we thought it the perfect time to pay a visit to some spooky Akamas sites. So sit back and enjoy our trip to a pre-Christian Burial Ground and a spooky old mine, with not a janitor in sight.
From Polis to Limni Pier
While the weather isn't quite what we would like yet, you can still have fun on an afternoon stroll. Today we visit the area between Polis Municipal Beach and Limni Pier. How does it look now that Spring is here?
Limni Mine
Limni Mine is an abandoned Copper and Sulphur Mine, which at some point in the future may become a golf course. With that in mind we thought we better take a look around before the golf balls start flying...
Limni Crystal Hunting
We've long been fans of hunting for exotic crystals in the countryside of Cyprus. Half the fun of it is finding an interesting geological location. But it can also be a lot of hard work. So we thought we would show you it is possible to find some nice crystals with nothing more than a little hammer. They won't win any awards, but they are easy to find, and make a change from looking for shells on the beach...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.
