What you'll see

Carry at least 1.5 litres of water per person and a hat; there is little shade on many Cyprus trails from May to October.
Start early in summer and avoid the hottest hours (12:00–16:00).
Wear proper walking shoes: paths are often stony and steep in places.
This is a demanding route: allow extra time and don't walk it alone if you're not used to mountain paths.
Routes can close after fires or storms. Check the official page for the latest status.
In an emergency, call 112.
