A few words about our route:
Our route will start from Nicosia and we will head towards the roadblock of Agios Dometios. We will pass through our occupied villages, Omorfita, Mia Milia, Neo Chorio, and Lefkoniko until we reach the village of Akanthou. Our hike. will start from the square of Akanthou village. On our route, we will have the opportunity to see strange rocks in various shapes that are lost among the greenery that exists in the surrounding mountains.

A few words about Styllarka:
They are visible limestone rocks up to 30 meters high that pierce the Akanthi sky like huge torches and that in March have a unique color on which the hawks used to build their caves. It is a miracle of nature, among the many joys and graces that the molder generously bestowed on our town.
