Overview

The office of outdoor activities and sports tourism Salonica View organizes an excursion to Kato Pyrgos and hiking on the nature trail Agia Tilliria.

 

 A few words about our trip:

Our excursion will start from Nicosia and we will head to the Astromeritis roadblock. We will go through our occupied villages and we will see Kato Zodia, Kazivera, Karavostasi, Nikitas, and Pentagia until we reach Kato Pyrgos. The combination of the all-green mountain with the beach, and the tranquility of the area were some of the reasons why the Salonica View team chose Kato Pyrgos for this one-day getaway!

 

A few words about our hike:

Our hike will start from the village of Kato Pyrgos to the village of Pigainia. The community of Pigainia is located in the area of ​​Tylliria which is a mountainous peninsula of Cyprus in the northwestern part of the island between the Gulf of Chrysochous and the Gulf of Morphou. The community of Pigainia is a combination of mountain and sea with magnificent and panoramic views. The village got its name from the shrub "peanon" or "peganum" (peganum harmala), which is a medicinal and dyeing plant that grows in the area. In the course of our journey through the village, we will have the opportunity to see the impressive stone fountains, from which all households were supplied with water. At the end of our route, we will reach the omega beach, which was named as its shape resembles the Greek letter “Ω”. It is a beach of almost 1 km, with warm waters and golden sand. We will have time to relax and swim on the beach.
