Routhouni Bridge
Turn Left Here
Soon you come to this junction. There is a footpath of some description in the centre of the image. We turn left just before that.
The Aforementioned Footpath
This was the footpath we saw. I originally thought it went all the way to the bridge, but according to the map it ends fairly soon. Plus, when we finally get to the bridge you will see no sign of any footpath.
Go This Way
This is the route you need to take. It is worth pointing out that it gets in a worse state later on. And if there has been a lot of rain I wouldn't advise it at all. Our 4x4 had no trouble today though.
Turn Right Here
After a couple of hundred metres you will come to a junction. Take the right turn here, just after the prickly pears.
Stick To The Left
You are now on the track that leads you to the bridge. There are a few junctions along the way, but most lead straight into a field. This is the only one you might take a wrong turn at, so remember to keep left.

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.
