We started our walk at the Epistopi Environmental Centre shortly after 9am last day of February. Just after a few hundred metres in at a fork make sure you take the right (smaller) path to get by the church. Otherwise the rest of the trail is nicely marked.
It is a pleasant quiet path. We didn't meet anybody apart from friendly locals and loads of lizards and some frogs.
About half way in there is a small shallow stream which you need to cross. We managed with dry feel with the help of some tires layed across. Further on we encountered several other stream areas but they were less challenging and added to the fun. I can imagine that this would be common in winter months. 95% is on dry road.

Right in the middle of the trail, you'll need to cross streams barefoot (February) . Keep...
Read moreEzousa/Episkopi trail is a very nice not so difficult hike. Circular trail starts near information center and takes you through the village, near Ezousa river,through vineyards and beautiful green valley. The most interesting part for me was Episkopi Rock , so called Meteora of Cyprus. There is a small church on the top of that Rock. Don’t be lazy and climb up there to enjoy panoramic view. There is a small local coffee shop for some refreshments or if you are into wines - visit Cyprus Wine Tasting Room. Totally...
