- Bellapais Monastery Village Hotel - Day 1 - Begin your journey in the picturesque village of Bellapais. We’ll stroll through the village, passing by Lawrence Durrell’s house, the author of ‘The Bitter Lemons of Cyprus’. After leaving the village, we’ll hike along the scenic pine trails of the Kyrenia range, offering stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. We’ll climb to the peaks, enjoying the fresh mountain air, before descending back to the village to visit the abbey. Abbey entrance fee: 2.25 EUR.
Day 2 – Start your walk in the village of Karsiyaka and hike up towards the ruins of the Sinai Monastery. A hike around the Monastery offers a perfect day out in nature. In spring and the rainy season, wildflowers are abundant. Although little is known about the monastery, the ruins indicate it was once a significant building. The ground is scattered with numerous granite columns and some statues.
