Perched on a hilltop, your eyes follow the winding trails weaving through the serene landscapes of the villages of Pano Akourdaleia, Yiolou, Theletra, and Kathikas nestled below. The terrain fluctuates in a rhythmic pattern of valleys and crests; each cloaked in a vibrant tapestry of flora that evolves with the turning of the seasons. The richness of the Troodos region's natural beauty, punctuated by historic churches and monasteries, feels like stepping into a painting where every detail adds to the lush green composition. As your gaze sweeps across the mountainscape, the commanding silhouette of Mount Olympus, the crowning glory of the Troodos range, etches—an indelible mark on the horizon, inviting the adventurous spirit to discover its trails and trodden paths.
Awakening in the tranquil embrace of the Secret Forest, formerly the Ayii Anargyri Natural Healing Spa Resort, is an unparalleled delight. An early morning stroll along the nearby segment of the Anerades Natural Trail, close to the village of Miliou, brings a burst of exhilaration. The morning sun casts a golden glow on the blossoming spring flora, and the air is thick with the scent of pine and citrus, an intoxicating aroma that invigorates the senses. The charm of Miliou, with its quaint stone houses and cobblestone streets, creates an atmosphere of timeless tranquillity. The rejuvenating journey through the picturesque countryside and the historic village encapsulates the unique allure of a Cypriot spring morning.
