Horteri Nature Trail (Chorteri ) Stavros tis Psokas Paphos Forest Cyprus

Pretty easy walk trail at most places, plenty of benches available to take rest. Half part of the trail is not exposed by the Sun, so pretty pleasant even in August around noon!
Well marked trail on the top you can find a fire lookout station, this is not part of the trail!
Either you can walk on forestry road until you reach it , give roughly two extra miles.. which is not really affordable above 100 Fahrenheit, 40 Celsius. I did find a short way rather than walk this much on hot sun.
Short way opening behind the water tank and marked with rocks, very short to get on the top approx 300 feet. If you following the trail backwards it will be much more tough hiking than normal route.

First and foremost this is a serene place where you will enjoy piece of mind in a majestic, virgin pine forest. Still there are a few things you can do in the area.
First thing is to visit the fenced area with agrina (mouflons) and deers. Mouflons (in Greek agrino, plural agrina) are native wild sheep, only found in Cyprus. They are very beautiful animals and are renowned for their ability to run and climb on very steep terrain and slopes. Watching them is a very nice experience for everybody, but especially for kids.
