Agios Konstantinos - Papoutcha Nature Trail Cyprus

Actually this naming a bit confusing, no marked trail here to reach the peak. If you want to go up to the peak you are on own. Small Golden Oak bushes, tons of path without any mark make to reach the peak impossible or very risky without guide who know the track already.
I had to turn back due no marking at all at half mile range from the peak. I was on the peak on a different route. This trail is beautiful walking trail for sure, not so hard easy to follow , even if uphill mostly pretty okay to everyone. Plenty of benches everywhere, actually more bench than marks of the trail.. To discover Hideout 2 is a great walk, I did stop it before I found the hide out , due I would go to the Papoutcha peak and didn't fit into my time frame, same thing did happen with Hideout 1.
This is the working solution to me to reach the peak, harder to go uphill and very slippery bellow the peak, but works to me unlike current route.

Papoutsa or Mount Papoutsa (Παπούτσα in Greek) is one of the standalone mountains on the outskirts of the big Troodos Range on the island of Cyprus. Compared to most other mountains on the island, it is a rare thing: a mountain without a construction on top - no radar installation, no fire lookout, not even a radio antenna. The only things you will find is a small sanctuary and a summit cross, both of rather modest proportions.

rail start in famous Kommandaria vine village Agios Konstantinos

Commandaria (also called Commanderia and Coumadarka; Greek: κουμανδαρία, κουμανταρία and Cypriot Greek κουμανταρκά[1]) is an amber-coloured sweet dessert wine made in the Commandaria region of Cyprus on the foothills of the Troödos mountains. Commandaria is made from sun-dried grapes of the varieties Xynisteri and Mavro. While often a fortified wine, through its production method it often reaches high alcohol levels, around 15%, already before fortification. It represents an ancient wine style documented in Cyprus back to 800 BC and has the distinction of being the world's oldest named wine still in production, with the name Commandaria dating back to the crusades in the 12th century.

The wine has a long history, said to date back to the time of the ancient Greeks, where it was a popular drink at festivals. A dried grape wine from Cyprus was first known to be described in 800 BC by the Greek poet Hesiod and was known, by much later, as the Cypriot Manna.[2][3]


Commandaria by KEO
During the crusades, Commandaria was served at the 12th-century wedding of King Richard the Lionheart to Berengaria of Navarre, in the town of Limassol; it was during the wedding that King Richard pronounced Commandaria "the wine of kings and the king of wines".[4] Near the end of the century he sold the island to the Knights Templar, who then sold it to Guy de Lusignan, but kept a large feudal estate at Kolossi, close to Limassol, to themselves. This estate was referred to as "La Grande Commanderie". The word Commanderie referred to the military headquarters whilst Grande helped distinguish it from two smaller such command posts on the island, one close to Paphos (Phoenix) and another near Kyrenia (Templos). This area under the control of the Knights Templar (and subsequently the Knights Hospitaller) became known as Commandaria.[5] When the knights began producing large quantities of the wine for export to Europe's royal courts and for supplying pilgrims en route to the holy lands, the wine assumed the name of the region. Thus it has the distinction of being the world's oldest named wine still in production.[6][7][8]

Although today it is produced and marketed under the name Commandaria, it has been referred to with several similar names and spellings in the past. In 1863, Thomas George Shaw in his book Wine, the vine, and the cellar refers to this wine as Commanderi[9] whilst in 1879, Samuel Baker refers to it as Commanderia.[10] In 1833 Cyrus Redding in his book "A history and description of modern wines" makes reference to the wine of the "Commandery".[11]

Legend has it that in the 13th century Philip Augustus of France held the first ever wine tasting competition. The event, branded The Battle of the Wines (fr. La Bataille des Vins), was recorded in a notable French poem written by Henry d'Andeli in 1224.[12] The competition which included wines from all over Europe and France, was won by a sweet wine from Cyprus widely believed to be Commandaria.[13] The Commandery region itself fell into the control of his descendant Philip IV in 1307, after the suppression of the Knights Templar.

Another legend has it that the Ottoman sultan Selim II invaded the island just to acquire Commandaria; also that the grapes used to make this wine were the same grapes exported to Portugal that eventually became famous as the source of port wine.[14]
