Kionia - Profitis Ilias

Kionia to Profitis Ilias is a scenic 7.3km linear trail through Machairas National Forest connecting two picnic sites with outstanding views of the Mesaoria plain below. The walk passes through dry valleys and sparse pine forest, featuring perennial strawberry trees and arar conifers, and reaches Profitis Ilias with its modest stone church and monastery-like buildings. This easy-to-moderate route offers peaceful forest walking within a NATURA 2000 protected area at the heart of Cyprus's central highlands.
