Kelefos Bridge Gets A Spring Clean!
Downstream View
And this is the view downstream. You can see a lot more since they chopped the trees down.
Here's the view from 2018. I wonder why they chopped so many trees down?

When We Had Serious Rain
Speaking about previous publications, back in the winter of 2018/19 Cyprus had a huge amount of rain. Reservoir inflow was over 265,000 mcm (Metric cubic metres, I think). In comparison, this season we have had under 40,000. So the rivers were bursting their banks, and I made a film of it, which you can see here (Kelefos starts at about 3min in):

Navigable
While we were visiting, I observed a Jeep driving through the river. I can only assume that they had come through Paphos Forest from Vretsia, via Roudia Bridge. I haven't driven that way for a year or two myself, and was going to do it later in the year, as I was afraid it might be very muddy in places at the moment. So it was nice to see it was in fact doable at the moment.
Virtual Tour
We obviously can't get enough of Kelefos Bridge, as we even made a virtual tour. It also shows you the nature trail that is next to it. Have fun exploring!

MapKelefos Bridge Gets A Spring Clean!
Of all the Venetian Bridges in Cyprus, Kelefos is probably the most famous. Nestled in the heart of Paphos Forest, it formed an integral part of the Camel Trail route from the mountains to coastal areas. We were up there a few days ago and noticed it was looking remarkably clean and well-groomed. Come see for yourself...

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.
