Winetaste walk winetaste
We call this walk 'Three wineries' because it offers walkers the perfect excuse to visit (at least) three wineries in the area, One in (Pano) Panagia village, which is the starting point of the walk, one in Kannaviou village which is the finishing point of the walk, and a third one near Chrysoroyiatissa monastery, that has a restaurant with a fantastic view of Ezousa valley and Kannaviou dam. There is another monastery in the area called 'Ayia Moni'.
The nearly 10-kilometer long walk starts at the village of (Pano) Panagia at an elevation of 850 meters. Walkers descend through the countryside by half a kilometer as they reach the village of Kannaviou. On the way they pass by vineyards, cereal fields, rock formations and scrub land. For a part of the walk (second quarter) they enjoy the view of the nearby Kannaviou dam.
During the lower part of the route one walks close to a stream that reaches Kannaviou village. Travellers see olive trees, hawthorn and even some oak trees (oaks have become rather rare in Cyprus unfortunately) and many wildflowers (including wild orchids - if they happen to walk during the blooming season of course). Walkers are in the company of virtually no one but the avian inhabitants of this area. It is pretty here, and even though it is near a main road and close to a few villages it feels like one is alone in the wilderness.
Don't drink Too much and walk!
