7-8 km walk above Limassol

3. 7-8 km walk above Limassol

Kyparissia (meaning 'a place of cypresses') peak and locality has one of a few patches with high concentration of cypress trees in Cyprus. The walking route starts within thirty minutes by car from Limassol , and offers lovely vistas, especially towards the sea, from a distance of even under eight kilometers at places. One sees also significant numbers of Calabrian pines on the route, as well as a big number of other native plant species. What stands out along these trails are the vistas. On many stretches there are uninterrupted vistas towards the coast, as well as towards the manmade Germasoyeia lake (under three kilometers from some points along the route). Towards the north west especially, there are vistas of various peaks, one behind the other. The route is particularly attractive for those who do not want to travel far from Limassol. As the elevation lies between 500 to 700 meters, this short walk can be enjoyed also in summer, especially away from the hot, middle of the day.

Many thanks to Vladimir for an interesting tour! We traveled as a family with children almost individually with another couple, in a minivan. We visited the authentic mountain villages of Cyprus, the most interesting factories of sweets, roses, chocolate, a smokehouse and completed our trip with a delicious lunch in the beautiful village of Omodes! Vladimir was very attentive, sociable, he answered many questions of interest. Our trip left a lot of positive impressions and bright emotions! Thanks

A brilliant day in which we saw lots of the real Cyprus. Mountain villages were beautiful. We visited lots of small businesses and they were friendly and informative and we were given lots of free samples. Rose factory at Agros was fantastic. Chocolate tasting was brilliant. The tour guide was friendly and warm and very interesting. A very different type of trip that was unforgettable, would definitely recommend

Very comfortable small coach. Good driver in Iannis and excellent guide in Tatiana. Wonderful scenery (even in the rain!) Good stops at Rose distillery, chocolate factory and winery. Excellent restaurant where we could order lunch. Great 8 hours well worth it.

That was great and very interesting tour about Cyprus Wine, Food and Live. Vladimir is great and attentive man with lots of know-how about History of Cyprus. We enjoyed the trip from start to finish. Big thanks to Vladimir.
