Arnies (short)

The Arnies Trail (short route) is a gentle 3 km circular walk near Agios Dimitrianos village in Paphos, lasting around one hour and ideal for families and casual walkers. This shorter loop takes you through a patchwork of crops, traditional orchards, and wooded sections, with a visit to the beloved Arnies spring and the historic cave shelter of Saint Dimitrianos. The terrain is manageable with only modest slopes, and the local village provides water and hospitality along the way, making it a relaxing introduction to Cypriot rural life and local history. It is perfect if you want a short, unhurried outing with cultural interest and friendly village atmosphere.

The walk feels connected to the community, with opportunities to rest and refill water bottles at designated stops. The shorter distance and gentler pace make this especially suitable for older hikers, families with younger children, or anyone looking for a peaceful stroll that still connects you to nature and tradition.

Best visited from November through April.
