About This Event

The Cyprus Strollers are setting out from Machairas Monastery on a walk that links two small mountain villages. From the monastery the group descends on narrow paths to the bed of the Pedieos, climbs to Lazanias and crosses a ridge before dropping down into Fikardou. The route takes in a different side of the villages from the one you see on a drive through the mountains.

After a break in Fikardou, the group will retrace the route to the monastery. The club rates the walk difficult: there are demanding climbs and descents in both directions, and the total distance is about ten kilometres. Almond trees, pines and golden oak are among the plants noted along the way. This is a good outing to share with someone comfortable on steep footpaths.

The walk starts at 10:00 on Sunday, 6 December 2026, outside Machairas Monastery. It takes close to four hours, with an estimated finish back at the monastery around 14:00. For those sharing a car from Nicosia, the departure is at 09:00 from the Handicrafts Centre on Athalassas Avenue.

The walk is free and the optional restaurant lunch is paid separately. Everyone must register by the end of Friday, 4 December: text Victor at +357 96 667983 or email mailto:[email protected], saying whether you are joining lunch.
