A few words about our excursion:

Our group will start from Nicosia (Cyprus Handicraft Center) in the morning. We will make a short stop in Karvounas for coffee. Then, together with our experienced group leader-guide, we will begin our adventure on the "Loumata of the Eagles" trail at the connection point of the main road of Lower Amiantos - SEK Camp. Our route passes near the Almyrolivado picnic area. The path we will cross has a beautiful slope and follows a course along the river, through lush vegetation and ends at Amiantos Park. It passes by the old restored hideout of the EOKA fighters and the Loumata River of the Eagles. At the end of our hike, we will board the bus and head to the picnic area at Platania. There, amidst the lush greenery, we will enjoy a relaxing Yoga class in nature, before ending our day with a traditional Cypriot boukoma under the shade of the plane trees.
