The Salonica View team organizes a trek to Akanthou and a visit to Chrysosotira church
A few words about the trek:
We will start from Nicosia and head through Pyla to the village of Platani where we will stop for coffee. Then we will go to Akanthou where we will visit the church of Chrysosotira. Akanthou is one of the largest villages of occupied Famagusta. It is located at the northern foothills of the Pentadaktylos mountain range and is about 5 kilometers from the northern coast of Cyprus. The Akanthus region covers an area of around 50 square miles, and its landscape is broken up by mountains, beds, and coastal plains.
In the center of Akanthus is built the majestic and imposing church of Chrysosotiros. The palladium and pride of Akanthus is the miraculous icon of Chrysosotiros, which cured all diseases. People believed that children who fell ill after their birth could avoid death by being baptized in the church of Sotiros and taking the name of Sotiris.
Then we will go to the village of Davlos for food and swimming in the sea. Full of beautiful experiences we will start our return to Nicosia.
