Pipis Forest (right)

The Pipis Forest trail is a moderate 13.7 km circular route through the Mosfiloti-Pyrga area near Larnaca, offering expansive panoramic views of the surrounding villages and valleys. Mostly following forest roads through pine forest and natural vegetation, this hike showcases recovery areas after the devastating 2007 fire, with alternating uphill and downhill sections that take 3–4 hours. The trail is family-friendly and best visited in spring when wildflowers bloom across the landscape, creating a colourful natural display.

From multiple access points (including near the Monastery of Agia Theklia), the route winds through reforestation zones and open scrubland. The landscape reveals both the scars and healing of nature following the fire, with new growth alongside mature forest. The circular design means you can vary your start point depending on your preference and parking availability.

This is a straightforward forest walk ideal for those seeking gentle elevation change and rural scenery without technical difficulty. The views across the neighboring communities make it rewarding despite the modest terrain challenge.
