Pezounokremmos

The Pezounokremmos Trail is a short linear walk in the Madari area of central Troodos, in the heart of the Pitsilia mountain country. The name comes from the Cypriot Greek words pezouni (pigeon) and kremmos (cliff or rocky drop), so it reads roughly as "Pigeon Cliff" — the kind of name that points directly at a feature in the landscape rather than at a village or saint. At under two kilometres point-to-point, with a modest net descent across asymmetric elevation, it sits squarely in the category of focused destination walks rather than full-day hikes.

The route keeps the character of the wider Madari ridge country: igneous rock, exposed mountain ground, and the broad upland atmosphere that defines this part of Cyprus. Because it is short and linear, it works well as a quick mountain outing for hikers who want a clear objective — a cliff feature with a name — without committing to one of the longer Madari circuits.

It should appeal to walkers who like compact, well-defined routes with strong local character. The brevity is part of the point: a short walk, a named cliff, and the high country of central Cyprus around it.
