Hello everybody,
Leaving the house in the morning time,
wondering where you will end up spending your day, sometimes can take
you to the most wonderful corners on the island.
Going towards the sea is not certain
that you will not end up spending your day in the mountains. This is
one of the reasons for which Cyprus makes it all different.
Around 14 km far from Polis, Lysos
village is another small paradise in Cyprus. The old fountain, the
church and the village central plaza makes you wonder if today is a
day from the past like there is no way you are not going to be
surprised by the beauty of the stones, water and stairs lying in front
of you.
The small but modern playground has the
most incredible view which makes this place an oases of relaxation.
If you get very hungry you can stop at
Paradisos Hills Hotel for a lunch or even for a night. Sisters Soulla
Charalambous and Niki Chrystodoulou the owners of the hotel will be
happy to welcome you in the most pleasant and restful ambiance you
could ever find.
After a stop here you can continue your
trip towards Stavros tis Psokas and the road will take you on Eden
hills unlike any other places on the island. It is a completely
different perspective to be able to change the entire view in just a
few km.
Getting out of Lysos you can stop to
Caroline for a ride or simply to admire the unique landscape of the
area. Ride in Cyprus is like one of the hidden pleasures that you can
discover by chance! 6 horses will be waiting you there to admire and you can book by calling Caroline to take them out for a guided ride. A beautiful ride across spectacular
varied country - from forest tracks to deserted Turkish villages,
mountains and valleys, wide open plains to deep gorges. Everybody is
welcome to join.
Leaving Caroline behind us we will
continue to our destination Stavros tis Psokas the place where you
can see the Cyprus Muflons. The mouflon is an indispensable part of
Cypriot natural heritage and one of the symbols of Cyprus. The
mouflon is the biggest animal of the Cyprus Fauna. They are very shy
and agile; move very fast on the steep slopes of the Paphos forest
and are very difficult to approach, especially when they are
frightened.
Located in the heart of Paphos Forest,
Stavros tis Psokas it is a picnic place with a nice playground, and a
big camping place. The playground has swings, slides, see sour and
roundabout. Here it is a enclosure were the kids will be able to see
the Cyprus Muflons. If you did not think about the food here is
another nice place to eat and drink a nice coffee or the traditional
frappe.
A very long road can take you up to
Kikkos Monastery.
But this is another story!
Lots of sunny days from Izzy the
Cypriot Lizard!
