Giolou
Published 9th of July, 2017
Continuing our look at Cyprus villages, we are paying a trip to Giolou, which lies on the B7 between Stroumpi and Polis. What drew us there, you may ask? Read on and find out...
Giolou from Afar
Giolou certainly looks nice. We drive through it nearly every time we go to the North Coast, unless we are off-roading. But today, I needed a reason to visit, as I had to keep our 12 year old daughter entertained.
Coming in to Giolou
We certainly weren't going to visit the betting shop. For a start, there is one in Polemi.
The Barber Shop
We certainly weren't visiting the Barber's. As a confirmed slaphead, I have no need for such establishments.
This Place is Out Too
Her mother is responsible for taking our daughter for hair cuts, so this place was out too.
Flag Day
And we weren't here for the fried chicken.

Happy Easter!
Religion plays a big part of Cypriot Life, so it is not surprising that Easter is their most important Holy Day. Decorations appear like they do in Christmas in other countries, though not three months early! These are some of our favourites...
Pano Arodes
Pano Arodes is one of the gateways to the Akamas. It is a charming village between Kathikas and Droushia. We will be featuring it in our next eBook, so recently visited it to do some research. Naturally enough, we took lots of pictures while we were there...
Mousere
If you are driving to Troodos on the Kouklia - Dora road, you will pass through Mousere just after Archimandrita. It isn't a very big place, but it is worth a look around, as there are some nice views coupled with some interesting ruins. Plus, the locals are very welcoming...Good Pages To Visit

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.
