Madari Circular Trail

The Madari Circular Trail is one of the most spectacular high-altitude hikes in Cyprus, following the central ridge of the Troodos Mountains through some of the island's most exposed and panoramic terrain. Starting near the village of Kyperounta, this 12-kilometer circuit climbs steeply through alpine forest to the Madari fire lookout (1,613 m) perched atop Adelfoi peak, then descends through dense pine and juniper woodland before returning along forest trails. This is a classic mountain traverse with significant elevation gain, commanding ridge views, and the rare privilege of reaching an active fire-lookout station. The entire walk takes four to five hours and rewards strong hikers with 360-degree panoramas that stretch across central Cyprus.
