October 17 - we walked the 'Spilia tis Athasias' trail today. Short, at only 4.5 km, with total ascent and descent at 300 meters each. Lovely environment dominated by pine, golden oak, maple, storax, strawberry trees, sumac, rockrose. Beautiful views towards Mesaoria plain, Kionia peak, Larnaca and more. Excellent weather. I had my first strawberry tree berries for the year and a couple of bramble berries.
Recommended for those who like very short walks (and could be combined with a village meal and exploration of nearby villages. The cave looks peculiar and deep.
