FIRST DAY

We depart from Zagreb airport towards the flight schedule. We land in Cyprus just after 1 pm and rent a vehicle at the airport. The first three days will be located in a hotel on Mount Troodos, at 1700m. We'll be a little tired of the road and getting up early, so today we'll do a shorter trail, the Artemis trail. The trail is 8 km long and overcomes just over 100m of altitude difference. Artemis trail is a circular trail around the highest peak of Cyprus, Olympus (1952m), and is located at an altitude of 1800-1850m. From the track it is possible to turn towards the top (approximately 20 min). It is not possible to reach the very top, since there are various transmitters and accompanying objects, and the entire space is fenced. But about 15 meters below the top there is a lookout point and the upper station of the ski lift (believe it or not there is a ski resort in Cyprus). From the gazebo we descend back onto the track and in about 20 minutes we're at the vehicle. We need a 5-minute drive to get to the hotel. We stay in the rooms, and after a short rest we go to dinner. Within the hotel there is a restaurant, so anyone can have dinner when it suits him. Also, within the hotel there is a mini market with basic groceries, as well as a spa (not in price). After dinner we can hang out a little more in the cozy area of the hotel, and then go to sleep.

The Second Day

Rising and breakfast. Breakfast is served from 7:30 to 10:00. Since we are already on the mountain, we do not have to rush, so we start around 9:15-9:30. By the beginning of the trail of today's trail we have a 20-minute drive. Today's trail is the most demanding of all who are waiting for us in Cyprus. The trail is called the Hungarian trail (Hungary is the top, 1613m). It is a 13km long circular track, overcoming just over 700m of altitude difference. The first part of the trail (to the top) is especially interesting, behind each turn some new views open. After 3.8km (1.5 hours walk) we reach the top where there is a fire watchtower (something like the one on Montokuc on the island of Mljet). We're doing a break here. The trail goes further duuugo downhill, about two hours we just descend, but quite mildly, along the way we will make an even shorter break. In the end, a relatively mild ascent towards the parking lot awaits us, about 300m of altitude we have to overcome. We go back to the hotel, rest, shower, dinner and more as anyone wants.

The Third Day

Rising and breakfast. We start as we did the day before, around 9:15-9:30. Today's trail is called with the Atalanti trail, it is 14km long and overcomes approx. 200m altitude differences, which means that there is no serious ascent. It's also a circular trail around the top of Olympus, but about 100 meters lower than the Artemis trail, and it provides, in our judgment, even more than Artemis, although it's a little lower. The trail starts 200m from our hotel, so there is no ride to the track. After visiting the trail, we return to the hotel, so take a shower and a little rest. After dinner, and further on as he suits.

FOURTH DAY

Rising and breakfast. We take all the things and check out from the hotel. Today is the "rest day" of walking. We're going to Pafos where we'll be accommodated for the next four days. But we're not going directly to Pafos, we're going to visit some more places on the slopes of Troodos. The first place is Omodos, known for its very preserved Monastery of the Holy Cross, and perhaps even more so for its numerous wineries. Nice, small, quiet place with a rich tourist and catering offer. The second place/village is Lofou. Lofou is a hidden gem in Cyprus, a charming destination that offers visitors an insight into traditional Cypriot life. Situated in the Troodos Mountains, this picturesque village is famous for its paved streets, stone houses and beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. The village boasts a rich history dating back centuries, and its well-preserved buildings offer an insight into the past of the island. Lofou is also known for its vibrant cultural scene. During the year, the village hosts various festivals and events that celebrate traditional music, dance and culinary delicacies. These festivities provide visitors with an opportunity to gain insight into local culture and customs. The third place we will visit is not a town/village/city, but one of the most famous wineries on the island. By then we will get hungry and thirsty, so we will have a good tasting of local wines, cheeses, olives, cured meat products, fruits. After tasting, we head towards Pafos, which we need a little more than an hour's drive. By the way, we will stop at a store to buy food for breakfast, etc. We are staying in apartments, and still as it suits, rest, walk, dinner, drink...

The Fifth Day

Rising and breakfast. Since we're in apartments now, we're doing breakfast alone. At 9 am we head towards the Avakas Canyon, one of the most famous Cypriot attractions. Especially interesting is the first part of the canyon where we can expect a crowd, since local agencies bring tourists in large numbers. Depending on the situation in the canyon, we will decide on the spot whether we will pass the entire canyon and which way we will go back (it can be through the canyon or macadam). After the canyon, we will visit another attraction in that part, the stranded boat Edro III and the sea caves that there are many on that part of the island. We will also come across several banana plantations along the way. We return to the apartments and go to dinner in one of the many restaurants.

The Sixth Day

Rising and breakfast. Two paths await us today, both on the cliffs above the sea. The first, the Aphrodites rocks trail, is somewhat tameer and more decorated, more like a promenade. It takes us half an hour to get there. On the way we will come across a kiosk where you can buy some cold drink etc. Although the trail goes on, we will turn back here. The second, the Cape Aspro trail, is more attractive and passes through an extremely interesting landscape, full of unusual rocky formations. Here the terrain is not a well-kept promenade, but a more serious hiking trail. We need a 20-minute drive to get to it. This trail can be circular, but it implies a good two-hour walk on the gravel and partly asphalt, so we will return to the path we came along. After returning to the parking lot, we return to the apartments, and after a shower and a little rest we go to dinner.

The Seventh Day

Rising and breakfast. For the last day we left the Akamas National Park and an area called Baths of Aphrodite. According to legend, there was the goddess Aphrodite coming for a swim and thus met her lover Adonis who was hunting, and there she stopped to drink water. There we will pass two interconnected trails, the Adonis trail and the Aphrodite trail (so they can be called differently). Each of the trails is about 5 km long, and it is also possible to turn to the highest point on the track, the top Moutti tis Sotiras (370m). Like in recent days, we're going back to the hotel, so for dinner or whatever.

OTHER DAY

Rising and breakfast, this time quite early, since our flight is at 7 o'clock. We go to the airport (20 minutes drive), return the vehicle and back to Zagreb.
