Kannoures - Agios Nikolaos Stegis

Kannoures to Agios Nikolaos Stegis is a challenging riverside trek descending through Troodos forest toward one of Cyprus's most important Byzantine churches. This 8.1km trail follows the Karkotis River valley with significant elevation loss, requiring sturdy footwear as sections involve stream crossings, loose stone, and steep descents. The destination, Agios Nikolaos Stegis, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring 12th-century frescoes and sits in a remote canyon below the trail's starting point.
