Itinerary description
A nice walk through grazed fields with mature carob and pine trees. If you have a 4WD you can take a road off the F611 between Pissouri and Alektora and park at the top of the hill by the cell tower. Otherwise you can drive through Aphrodite Hills Resort to their Riding Club and go from there. This loop is a short version of the many possibilities this plateau has to offer. In addition to views and lovely landscapes there is an old travellers’ inn - a hani - that is in pretty good shape, an old church, and a Frankish well. On some maps the well is labeled Aphrodite Springs or Well of the Franks. If you access it from Aphrodite Hills make sure you walk or drive to the cell tower for outstanding views toward Alektora and the surrounding farmland.

We cut across the field slightly to avoid going too close to this farm and disturbing the dogs.

You can choose to take a route that goes closer to this farm and then walk through a longer section of the pine forest. We cut it shorter because it started to rain.
