After savoring a traditional Cypriot breakfast gear up for today’s stunner of a ride. If you are a nature lover, this ride is for you! We will ride through a precious part of the Paphos forest, home to our endemic species, the mouflon and many other animals and birds.

We start with a shuttle that will drop us off to Kykkos Monastery, built in 11th century. From there we head toward a location called “Stavros tis Psokas”. We will soon leave all signs of civilisation behind us and emerge into the dense, enchanting Paphos forest. Once we reach “Stavros tis Psokas” we will have our first break of the day at the local forest station. Enjoy a nice coffee and a Cyprus sweet in one of the most tranquil places of the entire week. From Stavros we descent towards the Ezousa valley to our next overnight location, Sarama village. This descend features one of our favourite trails of the whole week. It runs along the Stavros river, between huge ancient trees and surrounded by high cliffs. The valley is quite narrow which makes the views more dramatic and breathtaking. The trails will take us thought the abandoned village of Sarama, before we reach our overnight accommodation in Yurt tends.
