Overview

The Salonica View team is organizing a unique hike that combines natural beauty and exploration!

A few words about our route:

We will start from Nicosia (Cyprus Handicraft Center) with destination Kionia. There will be a stop for boarding at the Environmental Information Center in Skarinou (Larnaka). Our first stop is at the Maria tavern in Vavatsinia for coffee. Then we will stop and 400 meters from the Kionia picnic area is the "Kakokefalos" viewpoint. We will have time to admire the panoramic view of the area overlooking Nicosia and Pentadachtylos. Then we will walk to the Kionia picnic area. There will be a short tour of the area. From there our hike will begin. We will walk until we reach a magical hidden waterfall in the area, which is a hidden gem of nature. Then, we head to the Petris fountain, where we can cool off and rest for a while. Then, on our route, we will head to the picturesque village of Vavatsinia, where our last stop is. The route is linear and demanding. At the end of our hike we will have free time for lunch and rest before returning to Nicosia.
