Agia Marina Cemetery
Little Chapel
Within the grounds of the cemetery was a small chapel where they presumably have a service before the final burial. There are no crematoriums in Cyprus (that I know of), and funerals happen very soon after death. I was going to do a bit of research into Cypriot funerals, but the first site I looked at was so obviously full of mistakes that I won't bother. I shall ask some Cypriots friends, get the correct information, and mention it in another article.
Beside The Chapel
Some of these graves seem to be encased in concrete.
Upper Deck
This is the upper level to the graveyard, where the newest graves were located. These too are surrounded by concrete. I wonder how thick it is?
Note that there is a picnic table here too. I am not suggesting you have a picnic, but it is a nice place to sit and enjoy the view for a while.
Green Fingers
Returning to the lower level, I wandered through the Grecian Gazebos admiring the designs.
I liked the multicoloured class in this one, so took a closer look.

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.

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.
