Views and landscapes keep on changing as you walk.
Beautiful pass through the forest.
A 7 Km walk with a nice view of the villages around Troodos mountain.
The trail is named after the Goddess Artemis, daughter of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of the God Apollo. The route circles Mount Olympus (Chionistra) at an average altitude of 1,850m. With help from the information signs along the trail, you will have a chance to explore the forest, including two ancient black pines (pinus nigra) that are more than 500 years old; rich and rare flora (with species such as catmint, germander, alyssum, Troodos sage, and juniper); and the rocks of the area (such as dunite, harzburgite, pyroxenite). Moreover, you will enjoy a beautiful view in the direction of the villages of the Limassol, Paphos, and Nicosia districts.
