Salonica View is organizing a special hike on the Esso Galata trail. It is not just a hike, it is an experience that combines exercise with exploration, relaxation and contact with nature.
A few words about our route:
Our group will start from Nicosia (Cyprus Handicraft Center) in the morning. Our hike will start from the old village of Esso Galata. The trail is approximately 6.5 km long and is considered a difficulty level 3, ideal for those who love the most demanding hikes. Along it we will discover the EOKA Hideout, the impressive Kidney Stones, the waterfall and fence of Esso Galata and many more points that hide the beauty of Cypriot nature. The view is unique, with the horizon opening before us towards the Gulf of Morphou, the Solia Valley and the surrounding mountains. The experience is complemented by the streams, springs and lush vegetation, which make the route even more enchanting. At the end of our hike there will be time for rest and food.
