Autumn Hike

EOS Lefkosias (Hellenic Mountaineering Club of Nicosia) invites hikers of all ages to an easy, shaded autumn walk in the Troodos mountains, Cyprus, on Sunday 4 October 2026. The route follows the famous Persephone trail, named after the ancient goddess of spring, and offers lush pine forests and panoramic views.

The hike starts at Troodos Square, in front of the CYTA holiday cottages (Troodos campsite entrance, approximately 1 km before the square when approaching from Kakopetria). The trail is cool, shaded and fully accessible to anyone with at least moderate fitness.

Main Route (Difficulty: 1 — Easy):
Distance: 3 km (6 km return)
Duration: approx. 2 hours

Points of interest: The little-known British Cemetery of Troodos, dense Black Pine forest, Cedar (Invisible Oak) forest and a spectacular panoramic view at Makria Kontarka.

For those seeking more of a challenge, a second group will be formed on the return leg, taking the Pouziari trail via a circular route:
Difficulty: 2 — Moderate
Distance: 10 km
Duration: approx. 3 hours
