Tremithousa Gorge
View From The Top
If you fancy a nice view and you are in the area, I can think of worse ways to spend 5 minutes.
Let's Go To The Gorge
Ok, so we have established that the area looks nice. What about the gorge itself. There are steps on the other side of the road that lead down. Let's head there.

Stairway to Heaven
I've mentioned my fondness for gorges in previous blogs. I was hoping for there to be a nice little route along the floor of the gorge here.
Reality Bites
However, when I got to the gate, I found it locked. It then dawned on me that this gorge was just here to service the seasonal river that ran through it. It wasn't a tourist attraction, just a functional bit of infrastructure which the good people of Tremithousa Council had felt was worth presenting in the best possible light. And why not? Full marks to them for caring about the appearance of their locality.
I wasn't going to be exploring any hidden gorge today. I did follow the gorge upstream for a bit, but it is very overgrown and leads to an enclosed area and a nearby barking dog. So instead, I headed back towards the car. There was still that right-hand path I mentioned earlier to investigate.

MapTremithousa Gorge
If you drive through Tremithousa from the Mesogi Road Paps, taking the low road, you will pass what looks like a charming landscaped gorge. As we normally drive the route on the way to somewhere else, we don't usually have time to stop for a look. The other day, I made time, and this is what I found.

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.
