'So has nature ordained that chance reign always and everywhere: nothing under the sun is stable and lasting, what is born must die. So that it need not seem wonderful to anyone that, as in other islands of the Mediterranean, so is Cyprus also, few or no traces are left of the cities which were once so famous.' Ioannes Cotovicus (Iohann van Kootwyck) Itinerarium Hierosolymitanum et Syriacum (1598-99) |
The route branching off the main Larnaca - Nicosia road towards Ayia Varvara, Lythrodontas, Kataliontas and Analiontas through to Makheras monastery is much easier than the old Odhou/Pharmakas pass. |
