Cedar Valley

The Cedar Valley is an easy 5.4 km walk through Cyprus's endemic cedar forest in the Paphos highlands, featuring the remarkable Cedrus brevifolia (Cyprus cedar), a subspecies found nowhere else on earth and closely related to the famous cedars of Lebanon. The trail winds through dense, mature cedar groves reaching up to 40 metres in height, with accompanying small streams, natural cascades, and well-marked paths adorned with bilingual information boards explaining the forest's geology, ecology, and rich archaeological heritage. This accessible, wheelchair-friendly route suits all fitness levels and offers a genuinely unique natural experience—few places in the Mediterranean preserve such extensive endemic coniferous forest. It is a remarkable choice if you want to experience one of Europe's most distinctive natural ecosystems and explore the intersection of natural beauty and human cultural heritage.
