The village of Pharmakas

Off the beaten track on the way to Troodos

 Shortly before the outbreak of the last war the villagers of Odhou, men and women, were working on the construction of a new road over a high ridge, which was to connect their village to Pharmakas and thus give them a much shorter journey to the capital. I drove to Odhou and Pharmakas via that very road in April 1991. I would certainly not recommend the journey to anyone who has not got a head for heights.
