The Reservoirs Are Full
Following our recent trip to Pomos we thought it would be nice to present all the full reservoirs we have visited in one blog. We will concentrate on the ones you haven't seen yet, so start at Pomos Reservoir and work our way back to Paphos.
Pomos Reservoir
Pomos Reservoir is nestled in Paphos Forest. A pleasant drive from the coast leads you to it, and continues through the forest towards the mufflons at Stavros Tis Psokas. I wouldn't recommend going that far without a 4x4 though, especially in the winter. Nevertheless, if you drive to the other end of the reservoir you will find a nice little church, complete with several picnic benches. So this would be a perfect place to visit in the summer if you wanted to escape the midday heat.
Damn Fine View
I promise this it the last time I will make the "damn fine view" joke. But here is Pomos Reservoir, overflowing.
Water's Edge
This had a slightly different design from the others we have seen. I wonder what logic is used when it comes to the placement of the overflow?
On The Boardwalk
Unfortunately, this was padlocked, so we couldn't walk up to the dam itself.
Pretty Location
This is a beautiful reservoir, and on a calm, windless day you must be able to take some stunning reflection shots.

Pomos is quite a trip from Paphos, but it is most definitely worth it. We were up that way to visit some abandoned villages and overflowing reservoirs this week, but stopped to take in the coast along the way. The countryside up there is breathtaking, and well worth a visit. Here's a short selection of what to expect.

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.
