An extended version of our walk in the Troodos Mountains
and Akamas of Cyprus
Cyprus is an island of outstanding natural beauty. Away from the
cosmopolitan towns and beach resorts you will find large areas of natural,
unspoilt countryside. Rugged, pine‑clad mountains, woodlands, gentle
orchards and vineyards are interspersed with tranquil, timeless villages. We
start our tour at Pedoulas village, high in the Troodos Mountains. During
the week you will visit Moutoulas and its 13th century church, and enjoy
wonderful scenery and some spectacular views. You descend from the
Troodos through the beautiful, narrow valley of Stavros. The second half
of the walk continues through a gentler landscape of vineyards and citrus
groves passing the tiny 16th century Byzantine church of Ayia Paraskevi
and onto the village of Drouseia. On the 11 day tour you stay 3 nights at
Chrysochou Bay on the northern side of the Akamas Peninsula.
