Discover Cyprus’s Highlights Tour Package (7 Nights/8 Days)

In the morning at 08:45 we will meet with the ASI hiking guide at the reception to greet and get to know each other. Please come already dressed in hiking clothes for the meeting. We will drive up to the Troodos Mountains. This is where our circular hike on the Atalante Trail begins. The tour is named after the mythical Atalante from Greek mythology, a huntress and unbeatable fast runner. We will not break any speed records today, but enjoy hiking around the highest elevation of Cyprus, see up to 800 year old juniper trees, enjoy the shade of the giant black pines, pass the old chrome mines and have a magnificent view of the villages that lie picturesquely below us.
