Cyprus, at the crossroads of three continents, encapsulates 10,000 years of tradition and culture and boasts a diverse landscape that you may find surprising on such a small island. The aim of this publication is to encourage visitors to explore the island’s natural beauty, especially its fauna, flora and mining heritage, by walking its nature trails, which have been created to highlight the beautiful landscapes of Cyprus, a much loved tourist destination. There is a vast choice of walking trails in Cyprus, but only a few have been included in this publication. A short description of all the nature trails can be found on the Forestry Department and the CTO websites. This publication includes: • A selection of 20 nature trails in different parts of the island so that the visitor can chose the route of his preference. • A code of conduct and tips for a pleasant and comfortable walk. • Maps of the routes mentioned in the brochure. • A list of websites, numbers for useful information. 6 A series of unique and complex geological processes have made Cyprus a model for scientists and a key to understanding the evolution of planet Earth and its oceans. The wooded summit of Troodos is the deepest layer of a piece of oceanic crust and the upper mantle of the earth, i.e. an ophiolite formed 90 million years ago, 8000 metres below the surface of the sea. Cyprus’ diverse landscape, with its strong Mediterranean character, is an impressive sight for visitors, especially due to the island’s small size. Many of its forest areas have been classified as National Forest Parks and protected areas for flora and fauna. The national forests cover more than 70 percent of the NATURA 2000 network of the island. Cyprus’ forests are mostly natural woodlands of great biodiversity and major ecological significance. • The main forest tree, from the coastal area until an altitude of up to 1200-1400 metres, is the Calabrian (Pinus brutia) while the Black pine (Pinus nigra ssp pallasiana) dominates in the higher reaches of Troodos. �DISCOVER CYPRUS ON FOOT • In large rivers and the areas surrounding them, the dominant trees are the oriental plane (Platanus orientalis) and the alder (Alnus orientalis). • On a smaller scale there are other tree species such as the Cyprus cedar (Cedrus brevifolia) and the Mediterranean Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens). • In middle and high elevations, a common species of bush is the golden oak (Quercus alnifolia), found on its own, in unmixed forests, or together with the pine tree. • In the lowlands you will find maquis shrubland, with dominant species the Phoenicean juniper or Arâr, (Juniperus phoenicea), the (wild) olive tree (Olea europaea), the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) and the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus) as well as the Calabrian. Cypus’ flora comprises around 1908 different kinds of plants, subspecies, varieties, types or hybrids. Of these, 139 are endemic to Cyprus, i.e. plants native only to Cyprus and found nowhere else in the world. Walking along Cyprus’ many nature trails you will encounter some of the many endemic plants that are in danger of extinction, such as: • ‘‘The skilla’, a species of plant of the Hyacinthaceae family (Scilla morrisii), • Loch’s Glory-of-the-snow (of Τroodos), (Chionodoxa lochiate) • Lefkara’s ankle (Astragalus macrocarpus ssp. Lefkarensis) • Kotschy’s orchid (Οphrys kotschy), • the Cyprus tulip (Tulipa cypria) as well as other varieties, most of which have been included in the Berne Convention’s list of protected plants. Cyprus has a wonderful variety of habitats suitable for many species of animal. This is due to the variety of landscapes on the island, each with their own particular microclimate and topographical features, and the variety of terrains and geological substrates, as well as the diversity of forest and agricultural vegetation. 7 �Some of the routes have been designed to give the visitor the chance to discover Cyprus’ cultural heritage through various monuments such as: Worthy of note among the mammals found on the island are: • The mouflon (Ovis gmelini ophion) a wild sheep species, found only in Cyprus. It is also the largest wild mammal that exists on the island. • The fox (Vulpes vulpes), which is Cyprus’ only carnivorous mammal. • The hedgehog (Hemiechinus auritus dorotheae) an endemic subspecies, a shy and reclusive animal. • Bats are a remarkable feature of Cypriot fauna and one of the most peculiar and noteworthy types of mammals. There are 19 different species. Cyprus’ geographical position makes it one of the most important migratory natural habitats and international bird life organisations consider it among the most important areas in the world for its biodiversity of birds. It is also a unique location in Europe for endemic birds. The butterflies of Cyprus, which belong to the order leptidoptera, are also considered of particular interest. There are 52 species, 9 of which are endemic to Cyprus. 8 • The Byzantine Churches of the Troodos region, which are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. • The Venetian bridges that could inspire a study of the historical relations between Venice and Cyprus, during the period that the Renaissance spirit was spreading through the island. • The mosques that highlight the multicultural nature of Cyprus. DISCOVER THE BEAUTY OF CYPRUS ON FOOT �DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY OF TRAILS� All nature trails are divided in 3 categories of difficulty, as follows: Category 1: Easy trail, with gentle gradient. Suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Category 2: Average degree of difficulty, suitable for adults in fair to good fitness levels. Sudden changes in gradient (uphill and/or downhill), and/or course along narrow or rough terrain. Category 3: High degree of difficulty. Route with difficult terrain such as sudden changes in gradient (uphill and/or downhill), course along particularly rough and/or slippery, and/or narrow, and/or steep terrain. Suitable for adults in very good to excellent fitness levels. Unsuitable for young children. 9 �GET TO KNOW CYPRUS BY WALKING SAFELY For your walk to be both pleasant and safe you must prepare yourself appropriately: • Before choosing your route you need to assess your abilities and make sure that you are healthy and in good physical shape. It is preferable to walk with others and not alone so that you have help in case of an accident. • Choose a walking pace that suits all the members of your group. At the beginning of your route it is advisable to walk slowly until you and your friends can determine what pace you prefer. • Do not stray from the sign-posted route. By following the sign posted route you are less likely to get lost or to find yourself in a situation that you cannot handle. • The appropriate equipment and suitable clothing are necessary for a comfortable and enjoyable walk. In areas with a high altitude the weather can change suddenly and it is important to be well prepared. • • • 10 Choose the appropriate clothing and shoes. Make sure you have plenty of drinking water with you. If you will be walking after sunset, make sure you are equipped with a torch. • In case of an accident, remain calm. Make sure you pack a First Aid kit with you before your begin your walk. Ask for help from other walkers. Look for the closest forest or police station. • The mountains and nature are for all to enjoy: • It is illegal to light a fire at any time of the year. • Do not smoke while walking. • Do not litter. • • • • • Do not pick flowers or plants. Preserving the flora is our responsibility. There are many flowers and plants that are near extinction. Do not bother any animals or insects you may encounter throughout your hike. Respect the ecosystem; you are an integral part of it. Make sure you have plastic bags with you to dispose of and remove your litter. Walkers who wish to bring their pets must have them on a leash so that they do not bother or frighten other walkers. You must also have plastic bags with you in order to pick up after your pets. �DISCOVER CYPRUS ON FOOT • If you require overnight accommodation, make sure you do the appropriate research and book in advance. • The Cyprus Tourism Organisation’s website has a lot of useful information. Camping is only allowed in official camping sites. Consult the Forestry Department’s website to find official camping sites where you may spend the night. 11 ���ΕΠΑΡΧΙΑ ΠΑΦΟΥ - ΔΑΣΟΣ ΑΚΑΜΑ Το δάσος Ακάμα είναι περιοχή Natura 2000 NATURE TRAILS REFERENCE MAP Kyrenia . !

A most surprising feature is its density of monuments of religious devotion. It is an island of distinctive aura and charm, where the whole spectrum of Christianity’s historical and cultural development can be seen, from inception to the present day. beauty, where according to Greek myth the goddess Aphrodite was born - was chosen as the first place to receive the great �CHRISTIANITY’S HISTORICAL CROSSROAD message of the new faith on the advent of Christianity. Cyprus became the gateway through which the message of the Gospels spread throughout the length and breadth of the Ecumene. The first mission of the apostles Paul and Barnabas (the latter of Cypriot descent) occurred here in accordance with the will and wish of God: “..being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus” (Acts 12, 4). This divine ‘choice’ – at the same time an ornament and endowment for the country – is expressed through the many monuments dedicated to prayer and devotion, but also through the plethora of holy men connected with the saintly island, thus endowing it with the expression“Cyprus the island of saints”. It is no coincidence that Cyprus - the island of saints”. Τhe Office of the pilgrimage tours of the Church of Cyprus (office@churchofcyprus.org. cy, tel. 35722554600, fax. 35722346254) opens its doors to welcome the pilgrims and share with them the holy gifts of an entire religious world. p Situated on a steep hill, Stavrovouni Monastery offers a panorama of the surrounding countryside. t (From left to right) Multi coloured glass, Saints Barnabas and Hilarion church, Peristerona.

CYPRUS EGYPT Cairo Aqaba Damascus IRAQ Amman N A short distance from the Holy Land ON SYRIA LEBAN C DA C JOR O Prehistoric era SAUDI ARABIA 3 �...ONE OF THE FIRST LANDS TO EMBRACE THE HOLY GOSPEL... C hristianity spread and took root throughout the lands of the Mediterranean sea very rapidly. According to the texts of the New Testament, the Cypriots were one of the first to embrace Christianity and preach it beyond the boundaries of Palestine. Equally, they were the first to accept the truth of the Gospels outside the Holy Land, when the first apostolic mission 4 �A riceless Peritage H COUNTLESS IMPORTANT ARCHAEOLOGICAL MONUMENTS, MARKING THE DAWN OF THE CHRISTIAN ERA was undertaken in 45 A.D., during which the Apostles Paul, Barnabas and Mark – the latter two of Cypriot descent – arrived in Salamis and preached the message of the Nazarene, “crossing the island to the edge of Pafos” (Acts, 13.6). In Pafos they baptised the Roman ProConsul Sergius Paulus, the first ranking official of the Roman Empire to embrace Christianity. Naturally, of great significance to the Church of Cyprus is the ratification of its autocephaly through the 7th canon of the 3rd Ecumenical Council in Ephesus in 431 A.D. This unique heritage is not only unequivocally demonstrated by the numerous early Christian monuments, but also by the presence of many Bishops of Cyprus in the first as well as the subsequent Ecumenical Councils. p Morning sun rays entering the Church of Panagia (St Mary) Hortakiotissa. zz Internal view of the dome of Agia Paraskevi, Geroskipou. z St Lazarus church interior, Larnaka. t Frescoes in the Panagia (St Mary) tou Araka church at Lagoudera. 5 �u Church of Timios Stavros (Holy Cross) at Pelendri. 6 �Creation Through Faith BYZANTINE ART AND CYPRIOT MONUMENTS OF UNESCO WITNESSING THE TRAILS OF A GLORIOUS HERITAGE C yprus, burdened with memories of its turbulent past and with its monuments standing as witnesses to a great historical journey, forms a significant centre for the study of Byzantine painting and art. This is mainly attributed to the important number of monuments preserved, to their quality as well as to the degree of preservation of this wealth. An important group of churches of great archaeological, architectural and artistic value, with superb wall paintings dating from the 11th to the 17th centuries are concentrated in the Troodos mountain range. This concentration in such a small geographical area is perhaps a unique case worldwide. In recognition of their value, UNESCO has declared ten of these churches as monuments belonging to the World Cultural Heritage, such as the churches of Agios Nikolaos tis Stegis in Kakopetria, Panagia of Asinou and Panagia of Arakas in Lagoudera. ppp Church of Panagia (Virgin Mary) of Asinou. pp Church of Saints Barnabas and Hilarion at Peristerona. p Church of Panagia (Virgin Mary) of Arakas at Lagoudera. ttt Church of Metamorfosis tou Sotiros (Tranformation of Christ) at Palaichori. tt St Lazarus Church, Larnaka. t Historical medieval chapel at Pyrga. 7 �The Quest For Tranquility GUARDIANS OF FAITH, HISTORY AND TRADITION T he Byzantine Empire and Orthodoxy were the two pivots that indelibly marked the development of Cyprus. A plethora of monasteries was founded with the contribution and sponsorship of the devout Emperors of Constantinople: the Monastery of Kykkos, the largest on the island, with its icon of the Virgin Mary whose painting was traditionally attributed to Luke the Evangelist, Machairas Monastery and the Hermitage of Saint Neofytos, painted by the hand of Theodoros 8 Apsevdis, are the most important monuments of the island, captivating and moving the visitor. In most monasteries, the visitor/worshipper will enjoy the colours and scents of nature and discover new and unique spiritual pleasures. The visitor can share the passions and faith of the Cypriot people and experience intense spiritual emotions; and appreciate contemporary reality through an acquaintance with tradition. �u Monastery of St Irakleidios. uu Monastery of Agia Napa. t The historic Kykkos Monastery. yy Monastery of Panagia Trooditissa. p Monastery of Panagia tou Machaira. u Monastery of Panagia Chrysorrogiatissa. uu Monastery of Agios Neofytos. ...SPIRITUAL SOLACE, UNDER THE VEIL OF NATURAL SURROUNDINGS...

The archaeologist’s spade has revealed the foundations of over ninety early Christian basilicas – with three, five and seven aisles, adorned withvivid mosaic floors, marble inlays, reliefs dressed with marble and marble sculptures. Equally important examples of this civilisation and of the Byzantine art of the 6th century A.D. are the mural mosaics, such as those found in the church of the Virgin Angeloktistis (‘built by angels’) in Kiti village. The visitor may see the ecclesiastical treasures of Cyprus through the priceless collections of works of Byzantine art on display in various Byzantine museums and sacristies, such as the Byzantine Museum of the Archbishop Makarios III Foundation in Lefkosia, the Museum of Kykkos Monastery the Byzantine Museum of Pafos and the icon Museum in the monastery of Saint John Lampadistis. p Old icon from Saints Barnabas and Hilarion church, Peristerona. t Virgin Mary and Christ fresco at Saints Barnabas and Hilarion church, Peristerona. u Priceless ecclesiastical collections at the Kykko Monastery Museum. 11 �Long Standing Тraditions A NEVER ENDING CELEBRATION p“Kalos Logos,” a nocturnal late service on Good Saturday, during the Holy Week.

Πρόκειται για τη συλλογή παλαιών αντικειμένων αγροτικής ζωής του Τμήματος Γεωργίας, ένα υλικό που καταγράφει την πορεία της γεωργίας στην Κύπρο, καθώς και διάφορες εκφάνσεις της Κυπριακής αγροτικής ζωής. Η συλλογή περιλαμβάνει πάνω από 1500 αντικείμενα από την προβιομηχανική κοινωνία της Κύπρου, που χρονολογούνται από το 18ο - 20ο αιώνα. Περιλαμβάνει επίσης και τα πρώτα μεγάλα γεωργικά μηχανήματα. Τα αντικείμενα είναι κατανεμημένα σε ενότητες, ανάλογα με τον κλάδο που εξυπηρετούν, αλλά και το υλικό κατασκευής τους. Κάποιες από τις ενότητες του μουσείου είναι αμπελουργία, αρτοποιία, κεραμική, ποιμενικά, υφαντική, οικιακά σκεύη, λιθοτεχνία, μεταλλουργία, ξυλογλυπτική, χαλκοτεχνία, εργαλεία κωμοδρόμου, πελεκάνου, στρατουρά. Προς το παρόν ο χώρος δεν είναι ανοικτός προς το κοινό, σημαντικό όμως βήμα για το ΜΚΥ, αποτελεί η συνεργασία με το ΤΕΠΑΚ και η ψηφιακή ανάδειξη των αντικειμένων αγροτικής ζωής, που συνδέονταν άρρηκτα με την επιβίωση των κατοίκων του νησιού.
