When we were in Cyprus last time this reservoir was just being filled. A new engineering technology was being used to float an underwater pipeline over from Turkey to pipe in fresh water for use on the island. If you're into that sort of thing it's worth looking up
Woody ignoring the view and investigating the air filter for the air conditioning... why now?!
We stopped off at a ruined Greek Orthodox Church. Just down the way the call to prayer was starting at the mosque...
Graffiti...
Inside the church was full of pigeons...
Upstairs
Downstairs
Looking at the yellow peril, a trusty steed
And then on to here...
The ruins are amazing with some mosaics intact...
The detail from so long ago is incredible
Many a pillar still stands
As does the theatre
A strange phenomenon where snails have got to the top of plants and it's so hot they should have cooked but I have heard snails can sleep for several years....
They were everywhere
We walked a long way to outlying ruins but the snails got there first
A beautiful mosaic floor, we also walked down to the beach from here too...
Where's Woody?
Pondering the mysteries of the past...
Posing
And back to go out for dinner with friends- more meze and Cypriot foods. I am planning to have a go at some of the meze as they tasted amazing...
One last one of Salamis to say goodnight from he and me xxx
