Stavros tis Psokas – Pafos (Paphos) Cycling Route

This 65km route links Kykkos and the mountain range of Troodos with Pafos (Paphos).

From the forestry station at Stavros tis Psokas, the dirt road heads in a south­westerly direction through one of the most beautiful regions of the island. Uphills and downhills alternate as far as the camping site at Agia. From here, the road starts to climb steadily to the end of the forest a little outside Panagia, at the picnic site in Monasilakkas. It then continues a little further up to the largest village in the area of Panagia, birthplace of Archbishop Makarios III, the first President of Cyprus. The Monastery of Panagia Chrysorrogiatissa is situated near this village. The route continues towards Pafos, passing through the villages of Asprogia, Kannaviou, Agios Dimitrianos, Psathi, Polemi, Kallepeia, Tsada and Mesogi.
