- Moutti tis Choras: Hike in the Black Forests

The Hellenic Mountaineering Club of Nicosia organises a hike along the Moutti tis Choras trail, starting from Selladi tou Karamanli on the Saranti–Spilia road in Nicosia, Cyprus. An old trail passing through the "Black Forests" — dense Calabrian pine and kermes oak woodland, among the most pristine on the island — with exceptional views of Morphou Bay.
The route is 4km (8km return), moderate difficulty, with dense vegetation and no steep elevation changes. Midway along the trail there is access to a giant kermes oak tree. Duration: approximately 3 hours. The outing was scheduled to allow for voting (parliamentary election day).
