Cedar Valley
- A great place to visit and explore!
A must for nature lovers, Cedar Valley in
Tilliryan Troodos is aptly named. However, the cedars in this secluded valley
over 200,000 in all
are no ordinary trees, but the indigenous Cyprus cedar, Cedrus brevifolia, a
close relative of the famous cedars of Lebanon. There are thousands of them in
Cedar Valley. It's not the easiest of places to find, but for that reason you
almost guaranteed peace and quiet when you get there. It can be reached via
winding unpaved road from Pano Panagia on the Paphos side of the mountains or
from the Kykkos side along a signposted (unpaved) road along the route from
Kykkos to Stavros tis Psokas. And if you are really lucky, it won't be only
cedars you see. Cedar Valley is in the heart of the habitat of the moufflon, a
species of wild sheep native to Cyprus, and the national symbol. They are very
shy animals - those who want a guaranteed viewing will need to go to the
enclosure at Stavros tis Psokas. |
