Agia Marina Cemetery
On a recent visit to Agia Marina Reservoir, I noticed a sign pointing to a cemetery. I was curious as to what I would find in the middle of a forest, but wasn't expecting the beautiful memorials I found there.
The Main Entrance
I've always been fascinated by cemeteries. When I was a child, being taken to visit relatives who had died before I was even born, I was always curious about the older parts of the cemetery. I liked trying to find the oldest grave in the cemetery. So when I noticed a sign pointing to a cemetery in a fairly remote area, I was a little bit curious as to what I would find.
Mosaics
Graves in Cyprus can get quite ornate, as you shall see.
New Builds
Unlike the graves I remembered from the UK, virtually all the memorials here were fairly new. There are a wide variety of styles too.
All Shapes And Sizes
The graveyard looked full, but there was another level above it which still had plenty of space.

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.
