Troodos Mountains and Waterfall Walking Tour from Ayia Napa Protaras

This tour is available Monday to Friday (not at weekends), all year round, excluding public holidays.

The start time is around 08.30am

Including travel time to/from the walk location, this activity will take around 10 hours.

This is a private tour for groups of up to 4 people with a professional private guide. It takes in two of the most popular walking trails in the Troodos Mountains area of Cyprus. The combination of the two trails offers a unique experience over a variety of elevations including spectacular views, a variety of tree species and other flora and dramatic landscapes.

The Artemis Trail is around 8km and is a flat, easy walk. This is the highest elevation trail in Cyprus and unique flora can be found. When the weather is clear it offers excellent vistas to many parts of Cyprus.

Myllomeris Waterfalls Trail is around 2.5km and is an fairly easy walk at an elevation of up to 1,000 m, offering a radically different environment. It has typical vegetation of Cyprus valleys such as alder trees, bracken, maple, golden oaks, strawberry trees, storax and plane trees with impressive roots. At eleven meters, Myllomeris Waterfalls is the tallest in Cyprus, and probably the most scenic. There is a small, very inviting natural pool in front of the waterfall. A few visitors take a dip, even outside summer, at times when the water temperature is rather cold.

The combination of the two trails offers a rich experience over a considerable elevation range in Cyprus.

As it is a private tour the itinerary has some flexibility if you wish to spend longer at a stop to walk or discover additional sights.
