Muntyan's Labyrinth
Labyrinth vs Maze

Now you might look at these rings and say "These aren't mazes". And you would be quite right. Most people assume that a labyrinth and a maze are the same thing. Indeed, there is a famous Greek Myth about Theseus and the Minotaur. Depending on which version you read, he escapes either with the aid of a ball of string or map, to show him the route. If it was truly a labyrinth, he wouldn't have needed a map.
A labyrinth has a single through-route with twists and turns but without branches. A maze is a confusing pathway that has many branches, choices of path and dead-ends. A labyrinth is not designed to be difficult to navigate. It may be long but there is only one path (unicursal).


Before we have a yomp along the labyrinths, let's take a look around the park.
New Build

The first thing to note when you walk around the site, is how new it is. Indeed, as you shall find out, it appears to be a work in progress. But what actually is it? I did a bit of digging, and came up with the following:
Noospheric resonator
“What is the noosphere? It is the information field of the earth and any person who meditates comes into resonance with it. I build such a resonator between Paphos and Limassol in the Pissouri area. Its main part consists of three labyrinths, one large zodiac labyrinth and two small planetary ones; one male and another female. It is a kind of art object and, at the same time, it is a purely meditative practice. You enter the labyrinth, you pass 290 steps by the number of days of pregnancy and, depending on what kind of beginning is not enough in you, you choose either a male or female labyrinth to walk. Pure meditation and purification”.
Stone Square

Well, that was quite an unexpected explanation. It didn't mention what the rows of stones were about though. Presumably it aids the meditative process?
The Stones From Above

The stones form an interesting pattern. The main square shape consists of an expanding series of squares.

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.
