About this tour
This session covers Seven Springs, a shaded gorge where several small streams converge under a canopy of plane trees. Savvas walks in along the water before reaching a narrow tunnel built to channel the stream further downstream. He explains the tunnel's original purpose and the reservoir it was built to feed.
Savvas checks his connection at the gorge entrance before walking in slowly, keeping the camera steady over the uneven ground near the water. He answers questions about the tunnel and the site's history as he goes. A short list of what was seen follows the call.
This suits travellers wanting a cooler, shaded session away from the coast in summer. It also works well for anyone curious about the island's water engineering history.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
