Paradisiotissa is as is well known a deep valley next to the sea, bounded inland on all sides by high almost vertical mountain slopes. At the bottom of the valley flow remarkably enough two small rivers out into the sea. Itself the shore consists of a c. 20 m vertical cliff completely inaccessible to people. The rivers' water thus drips directly down from above into the salt sea which gurgles in the holes deep below. Both rivers originally have had their sources high up on the cliff. For the western river in ancient times a c. 50 ? m. long passage has been cut horizontally into the rock for the purpose of collecting the water ? Nowadays the source has been moved considerably deeper ~~] down into the valley. Between the two small rivers lies in the middle of the valley a small ridge which serves- ~~ ajos = άγ] as a watershed and on a horizontal projection of this ridge apparently in the middle of Paradisiotissa - valley lies the aforementioned house.
