Salonica View is organizing a special hiking trip at Mesa Potamos, one of the most beautiful natural trails in Cyprus.
About the Route
Our trip will begin from Nicosia (Cyprus Handicraft Centre) and continue towards the trail that starts near the Holy Cross Monastery. Before the hike begins, there will be time to visit the monastery. Throughout the hike, we will enjoy impressive and beautiful landscapes in an area where nature completely dominates. The scenery is filled with pine trees, while at lower levels you can find the national tree of Cyprus, the Golden Oak (Latzia). Near the riverbed, the landscape changes with Plane Trees and Alders, creating a refreshing and lively atmosphere. At the end of the hike, there will be free time for rest and lunch at Chrysanthis Tavern.
