Ineia Turtle Museum
Turtle Exhibit
There is also a link to the Innia Turtle Museum Website.
If you are wondering why I spelt Ineia differently it is because there are three alternate spellings, and the website uses a different one. You will also see the village name spelt "Inia", just to confuse things. They all refer to the same place: Ίνεια.
Know Your Turtles
There are two main types of turtle to be found in Cyprus: Loggerhead and Green. Of the two, you are more likely to spot the smaller Loggerhead. Green turtles are rarer, though we did spot a young one when we were snorkelling near Protaras last month.
On Display
There are numerous displays giving you more information on our shelly friends.
Incidentally, if you are wondering along a beach and happen to find a dead turtle, then you should phone the following number: Andreas on 99359977
Don't get too close to the turtle itself, as they can really honk after a few days.

So go back to the main track, and continue into the Akamas for a little while longer. The turtles await...

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.
