The Salonica View team is organizing an afternoon hike with a sunset backdrop on the path that starts from the church of Virgin Mary of Asinou and ends at Saint Theodoros Soleas, the highest point of the route. There, under the light of the full moon, we will stop to enjoy our wine with a unique view of the Gulf of Morphou.
A few words about our route:
We will start by bus from the Cyprus Handicraft Center in Nicosia and head towards the Holy Church of Virgin Mary of Asinou. Our hike will start from the historic church of Virgin Mary of Asinou, with its unique 12th century frescoes that have been recognized by UNESCO. From there, the route leads us through forest and rural roads, with changing landscapes and a panoramic view that embraces the Gulf of Morphou. At the end of our journey we will enjoy our wine under the light of the full moon before our return.
