Itinerary description
A circular trail to the chapel of Panagia tis Agapis (more info on this wonderful place you can find here https://www.cyprusalive.com/en/panagia-tis-agapis-vavla), part of the way goes along swift Agias Minas river which may have a seasonal nature.
While the trail isn’t worth a detour, however Vavla village is pretty to wonder around and the chapel is unique in its kind. Overall walk to the chapel is nice.
TERRAIN: pretty easy walk along concrete and dirt roads with one exception - ascent along fire breaker after the chapel.
In cold seasons there may be streams crossing the road, as well you will need to cross a river after the chapel. We had to build up a crossing with the stones as the waters were ankle deep.
SEASON: the trail is mostly exposed to the sun; in cold seasons there gonna be more water on the way
SIGNS: this is used to be an official trail but no trail map survived, neither did majority of direction signs, though a few plant signs remain along the trail. Thus not sure that we followed the original route in full.
KIDS: fine for kids of any age, except for a fire breaker ascent which requires stamina.
Parking is possible a bit further the starting point.

Тропа в целом не сложная, даже есть лавочки. В пекло я бы конечно там не ходил.
