The office of outdoor activities and sports tourism Salonica View, organizes an excursion and hiking on the nature path Atalanti.
A few words about the Atalanti path
The route we will follow is circular. The starting point and end of the Atalanti Path is Troodos Square. The path was named after the heroine of mythology Atalanti, famous hunter and runner, who was protected by the goddess Artemis. The path follows a course around Chionistra, lower than the Artemis Path and passes through dense clusters of black pine and juniper. There is one of the largest juniper trees, 800 years old! Along the way we will find information signs for plants, shrubs and trees of the mountain range, and characteristic rocks of the Troodos Ophiolite Complex. The route offers excellent views to areas and villages of the provinces of Limassol, Paphos and Nicosia.
