Troodos Mountains
The Troodos Mountains, in the interior of Cyprus north of
Limassol, offer a selection of four interesting signposted summer
walks for nature lovers. The Artemis Trail is circular, extending
four miles (7km) in the Black Pine region through the distinctive
sub-alpine flora of the area. Orchids can be found under the pines,
and one may spot the rare Epipactis condensata. The Atalanta Trail,
six miles (9km) long, starts at Troodos and also offers rich plant
life, spectacular scenery and birdwatching opportunities. The
shorter and easier Caledonia Trail, covering two miles (4km),
follows the Kryo Potamo stream about one mile (2km) from Platres,
and winds through pine forest, and among plane trees. It also
bypasses the Caledonian Falls, which are the only waterfalls on
Cyprus. The Persephone Trail, named after the Greek goddess of
spring, is about two miles (3km) long and offers lovely views.
