Being a private trip, it is customisable. We will decide together about how much the travellers would want to explore on foot the area's cultural and natural heritage.
One of the two main parts of the trips is the walk just inside the expansive Paphos Forest. If we are very lucky, we may spot the elusive protected moufflon. Usually we start walking from the downstream end of Play Valley. The length that we do will depend on travellers profile and preferece. Platy Valley is a serene place in Cyprus, characterised by a stream that has water all year round. We walk on a dirt road next to the stream on a linear route, returning on the same road. There is a plethora of local plant species, dominated by plane and alder trees. One can also see pines, bracken, storax, maple, even figs. In early autumn Cyclamen bloom here. As we walk maybe we will be fortunate to spot crabs walking on the road. Unfortunately we are likely to meet a few cars using this road.
Depending on arrangements we either walk to or go by car to Kelephos' medieval Venetian bridge, which according to tradition is built on a camel trail. The trail was apparently used by camel caravans to transport mined material from the mines on the north side of the Troodos mountains to Paphos port.
The local stream has water throughout the year. The setting is beautiful, with higher water flow during the rainy season and with more greenery in summer when the alders have their leaves and the bracken are full of life.
Omodos village, is the scene of the second part of our walking trip. It is one of the largest villages of Krasochoria. For years it has been well-known for its vineyards and wine and is still today known for its prime produce. Omodos developed around the ancient monastery of the Holy Cross (connected to St. Helen’s Passage to Cyprus) and is a popular destination for visitors. We walk around its alleys, discovering various aspects of Cyprus's cultural heritage, including an old grape press. Wine tasting is one of the recommended experiences in the area.
