Geocache Description:


The Aphrodite Trail is a series of caches which will explore the south coast of Cyprus from Kourion to Aphrodite's Rock and further west as we add to it; it's hoped that it will help visitors to the island to discover those places that are well known to locals, but that can be overlooked by guidebooks. 

Planned as a series of drive-bys, each cache has safe parking available nearby and a maximum walk of a hundred metres or so. They're not designed to be difficult, to make you hot and bothered or to make you waste time looking for ridiculous hides in the sweltering sun. They are designed to take you to spots that you might not otherwise have found, and we hope you enjoy the places and views as much as we do.

 

Stacks of safe parking in front of the new Greek Orthodox church,  from where you can see the minaret of the abandoned mosque. The original Paramali village is further inland and was abandoned in 1974; it's now used by the British Military for exercises and this new village has grown in it's stead with the population comprising both Cypriots and ex-pats of various nationalities.

The cache is hidden in a new structure; initially we thought it might have been a water dang at one time but a local cacher who lives in the village tells us that it's simply a bridge that once stood over the Paramali river on the old Limassol - Paphos road (the C6). The coords might be a bit iffy here but follow the hint and you should have no problem finding the cache.
