Pantheon Hall - Part 1.
Changing Rooms
When I came through the passage, I was surprised to find myself in a locker room, and there were more upstairs.
Nice Loos
Not only that but the loos weren't too shabby either. I should point out that this was our second visit to this place, and I had brought a few torches with me. Without their light, a lot of these rooms are in pitch darkness.
The Front Desk
On the other side of the locker room was a door that led to the main entrance.
Mystery Vandalism
This was odd. You expect abandoned places to gradually get stripped of their assets. But somebody had peeled off the wooden panels and just left them there. Did they intend coming back for the rest later?
A Big Clue!
Now this was interesting. An old sign harked back to a competition in 2015. Cyprus vs Romania. Ah, so that French flag we saw was actually a faded Romanian flag. That's one mystery solved. Now, the fight was to obtain the "Fanieros Belt". That's something that is worth a google. And what about that facebook page for "Pantheon Hall"? What will that show us?

Return to The Abandoned Ranch
The other day we saw an article about a mysterious church that had appeared in the Kouris Reservoir because of the low water level. When we got there it turned out to be a case of bad journalism. However, as we were in the area, we decided to revisit the abandoned Rancho Appaloosa, to see how much it had changed since we first found the place, in 2016.
Is this the Oldest Olive Tree in Cyprus?
We were out exploring in the Akamas the other day, and we came across this lovely old Olive Tree. I can't help wondering how long it has stood here...Related Pages

We've always loved urban exploring - visiting abandoned old buildings - and Cyprus has more than its fair share, from old hotels to forgotten hospitals for disused mines. When we discovered the place we are about to show you though, we really hit the Urbex Jackpot. This place is amazing, and has a remarkably colourful past as well.

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.
