Arnies Nature Trail
Long Route
Had you taken the long route you would have followed the path you can see here which runs from right to left. At about the centre of the image, another path branches off and heads straight towards us up the hill. I think we were right to avoid it this time as it looks very overgrown down there.
Dog Prints
This puzzled me. At one point they had obviously laid some more concrete on the track. It looks like about 100 dogs walked over it afterwards, while the concrete was still wet. What's even more puzzling though, is that there are no human footprints or tyre tracks.
Paphos Forest
The ascent back up the hill is more gentle than the descent. There are now some lovely views of Paphos Forest and the Kannaviou Reservoir.
Artichokes!
The artichoke is actually the bud of a thistle. The leaves cover a fuzzy centre called the "choke", which sits on top of a meaty core, called the heart.
The recipe site I just copied that from recommends steaming them.
Spring Blooms
We are now back in "Garden" territory and it shows. Beautiful.

Yesterday, for the first time since March, we drove somewhere in order to have a walk. It was magnificant! We didn't drive far, just down the road. There is a nature trail which we walked before Christmas, and we thought it was the perfect place to start reacquainting ourselves with the Cyprus countryside.

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.
