Troodos Walking Trip (Artemis+/Myllomeris Waterfalls)

Overview

Available languages

Mobile ticket

Phivos Ioannides, who would be guiding the trip and the walks, is a world traveller with extensive studies, wide business and other experiences. He is involved for many years in the sector of authentic ecotourism in Cyprus and is the author of a relevant guide book (with the title 'Exploring Authentic Cyprus'). He is a Greek Cypriot and specialises on guided walking trips.

We keep groups small, in order to offer a more personalised service.

The combination of the two trails offers a rich experience over a considerably elevation range in Cyprus: Usually excellent vistas at high elevation, juniper, black pine and barren rock Artemis, and coolness at lush Myllomeris Waterfalls trail.

It should be noted that in case of snow cover (usually some time between January and March), we can propose alternative walks, such as the excellent but more difficult circular 12 km Madari trail, the Pouziaris trail, etc.

What To Expect

Artemis Nature Trail

Artemis trail (8 km / 5 mi, flat and easy) is the highest elevation trail in Cyprus with unique flora on the island. It is very particular, combining barren rock with black pines and junioer trees. It is also a big attraction for people interested in geology. When the weather is clear it offers excellent vistas to many parts of Cyprus, as far as the coast in certain directions.

2 hours 30 minutes • Admission Not Applicable

Myllomeris Waterfalls Trail (linear, 1.2 km / 0.8 miles long each way) at an elevation of almost 1,000 m offers quite a different environment (eg plane trees, strawberry trees, violas, brambles, bracken, trout if walkers are lucky, etc). It runs in a lush valley and ends at the highest waterfall in Cyprus. Some travellers may like to take a dip at the shallow waterfall pool (especially closer to summer).

1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Not Applicable

We had a wonderful day exploring a couple pretty villages with distinctive architecture, and the highlight of the day was the walking trail around Mount Olympus - what amazing views! Thanks so much Phivos for being a brilliant tour guide!
Excellent tour!

Phivos has literally written the book on exploring authentic Cyprus and allows you to customize your trip. I opted for a shorter 2nd walk so that I could go wine tasting and eat at a small local cafe in one of the mountain villages of Troodos. I highly recommend this experience as it gives you a real taste of the country you're visiting. Phivos explains the history, landscape, and plants of Cyprus on the drive to the walk as well as on the walk itself. I look forward to trying one of his kayaking trips on my next visit. Artemis trail has stunning views and is a fairly easy walk. The weather in late June was great. A little cloud coverage worked out perfectly to help block the sun and there was a cool breeze throughout most of the walk. I would imagine a little later in the year it could be hotter, but we were lucky to have just enough clouds to shield us from the sun.
