Itinerary description
A continuous village to village trek, easy walking and generally downhill. Divided into 6 easy days of 10-15km per day, for family speed walking. Fit hikers can go faster. You can also start or finish in any place on the way. Public transport is available to the starting point (Troodos village) and from the end point (Kyperounta village).
No camping required - eat and sleep in villages. Some have lots of options, others just a couple of places. Usually no food or water is available between villages, so take daily food and plenty of water for a full day's walk. Recommended during spring and autumn - summer is quite hot, and winter is cold with some snow.
Day 1 - Start from Troodos village, and walk the loop around Mt. Olympos on Atalante trail or Artemis Trail. Night 1 at Troodos village.
Day 2 - Persephone trail, then down the E4. Night 2 at Pano Platres.
Day 3 - Up to Kaledonia falls, then north-west along E4. Night 3 at Prodromos.
Day 4 - Descend thru the forest to Kakopetria (night 4).
Day 5 - Cross to Spillia (night 5).
Day 6 - Forest loop to end the trek in Kyperounta.
