11km Artemis trail to Troodos Square

This is literally our top Cyprus walk, as it is composed (of parts) of two trails, one of which (Artemis trail) is the Cyprus trail with the highest elevation (1,800 meters) on the island.  We consider it to be one of the easy walking routes in Cyprus. Artemis trail is circular and has a length of seven km.  Walkers pass by many pines and junipers. Walkers may see barren rock at the top, while passing next to cliffs at points. The vistas along the route in many stretches are exceptional as one can see at points the bay of Episkopi and Akrotiri peninsula, the Akamas north coast, Morphou bay, Vouni Panayias peak, Kykkos monastery and Paphos Forest, and more. We recommend against doing this trail under snowfall (usually between January and March. If there is snowcover we do highly recommend as an alternative Madari circular trail (excellent in many ways, yet more strenuous because of significant total ascents and descents).

Closer to summer, because of the high elevation, flowers tend to be in bloom later in the season, compared to the same species in lower elevation. While summer temperatures in Cyprus are quite high, one should keep in mind that at this elevation they are generally about ten degrees Celsius lower that on the main plain (eg at Nicosia). As the route is flat and relatively short, it is quite doable for most people in summer, especially if one starts relatively early.

Cyprus Walks Etc offers standard guided walking trips for circular walking routes that include a combination of Artemis and Myllomeris walking trails (one come book under Day Trips from Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca, Ayia Napa, Protaras).  We offer customisable guided walking trips focused on the Artemis trail walking route. We also offer self-guided walking trips, from a number of villages on Troodos, that mainly include GPS information about the routes and relevant transportation. The route is excellent during most of the year (we do not recommend it under snowcover), especially for its vistas on many parts, the particular rock strata at the top and the endemic vegetation. Because the route is rather short we do recommend it during July and August. You are welcomed to book with us.
