The island is so small that there are countless trips to be made that allow us to be back home by the end of the day. Our first overnight trip on the island was to a quaint village in the Paphos district. Kathikas, like many farming villages in this region, has opened their doors to tourism and, as often is the case, British retirees.
Cyprus has a well established agrotourism system where farm houses have been renovated and converted for tourism. Needless to say, they are both rustic and comfortable. Unfortunately this weekend was one of the coldest and wettest Cyprus has seen in a very long time. It even hailed. Hailed so much, it looked like an ice storm had hit. We were actually O.K. with this until the electricity failed. So, with no light, heat, or even flushing toilet we were ready to head back. The weather finally let up and we were able to see some of the countryside, some lovely beaches an extensive gorge. When we arrived the power has turned back on and we were able to enjoy reading our books to the sound of the relentless rain.
