This morning being a nice bright day I drove up to the Kouris Dam (the largest on the island) to see what the level was. The first photo is of the dam itself and, I admit, doesn't give a clear indication of its current capacity. I carried on around the reservoir to the site of the old village of Alassa. This was abandoned and rebuilt on higher ground when the dam was built in the late 1980s. The second photo is of the old village church, taken this morning. The third photo was taken in March 2004 and is of the same church or, at least, all that could be seen of it. That year the Kouris, along with every other dam in Cyprus, overflowed for the first and only time.
I said the day was bright but it was still quite sharp and a hot dring would have been very welcome but, unfortunately, the kiosk was closed.
