Not very many years ago before the world changed and cars along with busy roads
and motorways became the prevalent way to get around, paths and cart tracks made
up the main road networks in Cyprus. They were the only link between
villages, towns and the rest of the world!
It is a fact that most cart tracks have almost disappeared with only a few
traces remaining near old bridges, most paths are now covered in thick
vegetation. The Forestry department of Cyprus has created 48 paths or
trails which cover a total distance of 200km in various parts of the Island,
from Kavo Greco in the South to Akamas in the West of the Island!
The paths and trails cover areas of rich vegetation and cultural
interest. They have been constructed on gentle gradients and are as a
rule, circular so that all age groups can use them with ease. They are very well
signposted and many have been networked and grouped in areas.
