Kathikas Nature Trail
Heading North the first trail that you come to is on the outskirts of a pleasant winery village called Kathikas.  There are a couple of good roads to this location.
First you can head up through the old town of Paphos onto what is know as the Polis Road (namely because it's the road that goes to Polis!) It's official name is Leoforos Evagora Pallikaridi.  You will the quiet village of Tsada and then into Stroumpi, just as you are leaving Stroumpi there is the turning for Kathikas and Theletra. Once you are into Kathikas you need to turn of left through the village heading onto the E709.  Along this road you will come across the Trakkos Donkey Farm.  You can park your car here so that when you return from your walk you can pop into the cafe and enjoy a warming cup of coffee during January February time or a refreshing cold drink during the summer.

If the car park is full 50m further down the road there is a large lay-by in which you can park and then walk back to the start of the trail.  If you are in luck you will not only see the donkeys from the farm but also the shepherds moving their goats about the hillside.

The walk takes you in a loop of about 3kms (1.8miles) so will only take about 30 - 40 minutes for you to complete - good for early evening to watch the sun set out over Pegia and Coral Bay which of course is the other route you could take to reach this pleasant short walk.

I have to say though that some places were a bit rugged and may be unsuitable for persons with walk disabilities.

Adonis & Aphrodite Nature Trail
This trail can again be reach by following the Polis Road North, once reaching Stroumpi you can again take the turning for Kathikas and head for Latchi and continue out along the E713 towards the Baths of Aphrodite OR stay on the Stroumpi road and head to Polis then cut across to Latchi again heading for the E713.

A wild way to travel to this location will involve the use of a 4x4 jeep/truck and some determination.

Travelling up the Tomb of the Kings road out towards Coral Bay and continue passed towards the Ayios Georgious (St Georges) peninsular.  Just before reaching St Georges there is a turning to the right towards the Akamas Peninsular and Nature Reserve.  You will know you are there when you see the donkey at the side of the road with the funny hat.  The road initially is tarmaced (or concreted) but then as you dip down towards the White River beach and restaurant the road starts to turn into 4x4 land.  Which of course all adds to the excitement of the day.

This road also leads to the beautiful Lara Bay Turtle reserve beaches.  However, for this adventure we will drive on passed.

The road continues for about 11km before forking (you should be in the lower part of the Akamas forest at this stage).  Take the right hand fork.  Approximately 3km up this road you will come across a dog leg crossroad.  Take the right turn and then at the next fork (1km)again take the right. The start of the trail is 4kms along this road.  You will pass the Pyrgros Rigenas Ruins which actually crosses the trails path about 2kms so you can tell you're heading in the right direction.

This trail starting at the Bath of Aphrodite is slightly longer at 8kms (5miles) but looks out in part over the picturesque Ayios Georgious Inlet and the Blue Lagoon at Fontana Amarosa.

Ayios Minas
Three walks at this location which are best reached by main and off road via the good old route of Kathikas.  I'm sure that you are all aware of how to get here now but if you have not read the previous details here you go.  Head out up through the old town of Paphos up the Polis Road up into Stroumpi and then take the left turn to Kathikas just through the Stroumpi village. Keep on this road up to Ineia, once here the road turns to 4x4 land, head towards Smigies and the Ayios Minas church.

The three walks start here but one heads south and is a short 3km (1.8mile) route and starts and finishes at the Smigies picnic site.  The other two routes head north a longer route at about 5km (3miles) this route can also be done as a half loop at 2.5km(1.5miles). This again starts and finishes at the picnic site.

Troodos - Stavros & Selladi tou Stavrou
High in the Troodos Mountain forest (1000ft) lies the Forest Station.  Surrounding the station there are 3 great walks and picnic areas to keep you going to the end.

The Chorteri Nature Trail which is approximately 5km(8miles) has a starting point on the road between Selladi tou Stavrou and the Stavros tis Psokas (Forest Station)  This goes up to 1100ft so not for the faint hearted, definitely worth taking the old camera if not the new.  The views down to the sea at Argaka are stunning.

Again a circular trail but shorter at 2.6km(1.5miles) starting from a point near to Selladi tou Stavrou.
