The rock formations of Madari
This is a superb 13-km long circular trail near Madari mountain peak (in the area of Pitsilia, on the Troodos mountain range). As this is circular, there are a number of relatively convenient starting points.
The trail is of medium difficulty, without very steep ascents and descents. One may enjoy great views towards the south, including Morphou bay, and to the north, including the village of Kyperounta and Troodos peak (to the west there is view towards the village of Spilia). There is great variety in vegetation; travellers walk past golden oak, wild rose and mastic bushes, junipers, pine, strawberry trees, rock rose and sage, and even cedar, plane trees and bracken.
One may also see the interesting rock formations in the area. Travellers may also stop at the beautiful Xyliatos manmade lake as well as Panagia tou Araka church, one of the ten Unesco World heritage painted churches of Troodos.
