The Salonica View team organizes a day hike to the tulips of Kormakitis. The blooming of the tulips is a natural spring phenomenon that lasts only for a short period. Join us to walk and experience this spectacular natural display up close.
A few words about the route:
Our journey begins from Nicosia, heading towards the Agios Dometios checkpoint. We will pass through occupied villages until we reach the village of Kormakitis, where our hike will begin. Before starting the hike, there will be time for a quick coffee stop. The trail we will follow is located in the Tzipos area, where we will see the tulips. At the end of the hike, we will return to the bus and head back via a different route. During our return, we will pass by the villages of Livera and Orka, with our final destination being Kyrenia, where there will be time for rest. From there, we will take the road back to Nicosia, full of beautiful memories.
