Itinerary description
Very versatile trail with beautiful views over south coast, Nicosia and north coast.
There are a few historical objects along the way as well as “the throne” of prophet Ilya. Two picnic sites - one at the beginning and one at the end.
In prophet Ilya monastery the church was reconstructed and is now open to visitors.
TERRAIN: mainly rocky paths and forest trails. Moderate gain and loss of elevation but overall trend is descent all the way to the end and ascent on the way back, which may be somewhat demanding.
SEASON: about 30% of the trail is in shade. In cold season there may be snow.
SIGNS: very well marked trail with plant plates, maps, direction and E4 signs. A few resting places.
KIDS: not for little kids due to some unprotected edges and the overall length and elevation.
