Duration: 10 hours
Cancellation: 24 hours
Highlights
  • Artemis Nature Trail - The Artemis Trail (8 km / 5 mi, flat and easy) is the highest elevation trail in Cyprus, showcasing the island’s unique flora. It features a distinctive combination of barren rock, black pines, and juniper trees. This trail is also a major draw for geology enthusiasts. On clear days, it offers stunning views of many parts of Cyprus, reaching as far as the coast in some directions.
  • Millomeris Waterfall Trail - The Millomeris Waterfalls Trail (linear, 1.2 km / 0.8 miles each way) sits at an elevation of nearly 1,000 m and presents a contrasting environment with plane trees, strawberry trees, violas, brambles, bracken, and possibly trout for lucky walkers. The trail winds through a lush valley and concludes at the highest waterfall in Cyprus. Some visitors may enjoy a refreshing dip in the shallow waterfall pool, especially as summer approaches.

Additional Information

Phivos Ioannides, the guide for the trip and walks, is a seasoned world traveler with extensive academic, business, and diverse experiences. He has been actively involved in the authentic ecotourism sector in Cyprus for many years and is the author of the guidebook ‘Exploring Authentic Cyprus.’ As a Greek Cypriot, he specializes in guided walking tours.

We maintain small group sizes to provide a more personalized service.

The combination of the two trails offers a rich experience across a significant elevation range in Cyprus: typically featuring excellent vistas at high elevations, juniper, black pine, and barren rock on the Artemis trail, and cool, lush surroundings on the Myllomeris Waterfalls trail.

In the event of snow cover (usually between January and March), alternative walks can be proposed, such as the excellent but more challenging 12 km circular Madari trail, the Pouziaris trail, and others.

  • A maximum of four (4) people per booking
  • Participants must wear proper walking shoes or sports sandals, wear sun protection, bring water and possibly snacks/food.
  • Participants must hold relevant insurance.
Location
Troodos Square
Troodos Junction
Meeting travellers at Troodos Square would give us more time for exploration. The same applies to a lesser extent for other places near the walks (Pano Platres, , Kakopetria, Kalopanayiotis, etc). Guiding time starts from the time the travellers meet the guide.

Peaceful hike with great views and an experienced & knowledgeable guide - 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.
