This is the 360 version of the film we published a few days ago.

It was recently announced that the old route to Last Castle (and Avakas Gorge) had re-opened. So we went for a drive to see if the claims were true. They were. In this extended 360 version of our previous film with commentary, we start at the top of Peyia and drive down to Agios Georgios before heading across the Akamas via the newly-reopened White River Beach road and heading up to the popular restaurant.

►Watching 360 Films

To enjoy 360 films you must watch them at a high a resolution as possible. Ramp the resolution up to 5K if you can. If it looks excessively blocky it is because your resolution is set too low.

Once you are viewing the film, you can move the camera about to look at whatever you like. On a tablet, or phone, just swipe in the way you want to go. On a computer, use the mouse or the W,A,S and D keys to point the camera. If you pause the film, you can still move the camera about.

If the image you see cannot be rotated and looks weird, it is likely that your viewer doesn't support 360 film. If that is the case, try viewing the film using the Youtube Application.
