Sotira (Symvoulos Dam)

The Sotira trail is a moderate 4.5 km walk through open grazing lands west of Limassol, offering abundant birdwatching opportunities and rural countryside character. Located partly in the Limassol District and partly within the Akrotiri and Dhekelia British Overseas Territory, this trail crosses grassland habitat rich with avian life, particularly in the first 3–4 km where a variety of bird species make their home. The walking pace is easy but the atmosphere is distinctly pastoral—open air rather than forest shade, with views across quiet agricultural valleys.
