Ayia Napa Aquaduct
Published 21st of August, 2022
Onwards And Upwards
I love the way it just winds its way through the countryside, unmolested by humanity and the passage of time.
Former Roof
You can see on this bit how the water channel must have been protected. It would be a bit of a bugger if it ever got blocked though.
Heading Back
I was getting hot now, so headed back to the car. You can see how the aquaduct rapidly inceases its width.
One Final Shot
I shall leave you with one, final shot of the main Aquaduct wall.
Further Towards The Source
I was actually able to locate the aquaduct on the other side of the Sculpture Park road, using images I had uploaded previously to Google Street View. Next time we are in the area I shall stop to take a closer look at it.
The aquaduct is well worth a visit, and most of your walk will have you in the shade, so go check it out!

MapAyia Napa Aquaduct
Ayia Napa has a lot of hidden charms, far removed from its reputation as a Party Destination. One such treasure is the ancient aquaduct which was constructed to provide water to the old Monastery that lies in the heart of the town. It is worth tracking down as it is a lot more interesting than it first sounds.

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.
