Walk on one of the many nature trails

MADARI TRAIL:

CO-ORDINATES (GPS - SMART PHONES):

34.955868, 32.963171

KIONIA TRAIL:

The trail starts at the Kionia Picnic site, where you can find a fountain with drinking water. The trails runs through a forest section and offers great views of Masaoria plain. It belongs to the Machairas National Forest Park, which is a Natura 200 site and is part of the E4 European walking route. The trail ends at Profitis Elias picnic site.

AVAKAS TRAIL:

A masterpiece of nature, Avakas Gorge is situated in the unspoilt Akamas peninsula in northwest Pafos. A hiker’s paradise, it offers spectacular views and a generous introduction to local flora and fauna, including the endangered centauria akamantis – an endemic plant found only in the gorge. Carved out of limestone rocks, rising up as high as 30 metres and narrowing dramatically at one point, the gorge is a fairly difficult hike as the rough track winds its way along and over the stream that formed this natural wonder over thousands of years. Parts of the walk are slippery and involve a certain amount of clambering over rocks and stones. Solid footwear and sensible clothes are recommended.

ATALANTE TRAIL:

The trail is named after the mythological Atalanta, a nymph protected by the Goddess Artemis. The route circles around Mount Olympus at a lower altitude than the Artemis trail and passes through dense forest of black pine (pinus nigra) and Troodos juniper. One of them is a huge 800-year-old juniper tree.

On the trail you will find information signs about the plants, shrubs and trees of the mountain range and characteristic rocks of the Troodos ophiolite complex. The trail does not feature any particularly difficult slopes but you need to take care because at certain points along the trail there are projecting stones. sticking out. You will enjoy a beautiful view in the direction of the villages of the Limassol, Paphos and Nicosia districts. At a distance of 3km from the starting point there is a spring with drinking water and wooden benches to rest on. After 9km, the route reaches the main Troodos-Prodromos road.

Grab a yoga mat and lose yourself in some energizing flowing yoga practice on a mountain hilltop.

Learn to dive off the Akamas peninsula or dive down to the famous Xenobia wreck off the coast of Larnaca.

Take a boat trip along the Akamas peninsula.
