Smigies (long)

The Smigies trail (long route) is a 6.8 km loop through the heart of the Akamas Forest, passing abandoned mines, magnesium facilities, and old kilns while offering stunning views of both the north coast (Chrysochou Bay toward Latsi and Polis) and south coast (Lara Bay). Taking approximately 2 hours, this moderate hike reveals the industrial heritage hidden within the Mediterranean scrubland and dense pine forest. The trail connects with the nearby Adonis trail at Kefalovrisia, where a natural water fountain provides a refreshing pause point.
