Polemi Rain
The winter storms are back with a vengeance. Polemi had 46mm of rain overnight, and it showed this morning. Our webcam presented a sorry picture, but I was curious to see what was happening in other parts of the village...
Webcam View
This was the view from the webcam, but what did it look like close up?
Pond
That's normally a field. The farmer was out pruning his vines yesterday. I don't think he will be there today.
Upstream
This is the view to the right of the webcam. If you look on the right you can see a black horizontal line at the edge of the picture, just over half way up. This is part of a drain they built last summer. Had it not been for this drain we would have been flooded. As it was, one of our neighbours still had some flooding, so not everybody was as lucky as we were.
To The Left
This is the view to the left of the webcam. Fortunately, water was flowing in this direction, away from the houses. I walked up to have a closer look.
Whirlpool!
This was a bit weird. There was obviously a drain in the corner of the field, but because there was so much water it created this whirlpool.

Polemi Sunset
Polemi isn't known for it's sunsets, well, to us at least. They are normally the domain of the coastal areas of Paphos, and Max's house. However, this evening, the Gods smiled on us, and granted us a lovely sunset. The photos can provide a brief, fitting epilogue to our last blog, Polemi Sunrise.
Polemi Concentration Camp
As you approach Polemi from the B7, you pass the Kamanterena Winery on your right. Just beyond that, if you are paying attention, you will see a lookout tower that wouldn't look out of place on a WW2 movie. A couple of ancient armoured vehicles might also perk your interest, so pull over, and take a look at Polemi Concentration Camp.Related Pages

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.
