There are few better ways to mark the turn of the season than watching the sun sink behind the peaks of Troodos on foot. On Sunday 6 September 2026, hiking_cyprus invites walkers of all levels to join a free group hike along the Artemis Trail, departing from the car park at Troodos Square. The event is part of the group's ongoing Community Days series — a programme designed to make mountain hiking accessible, sociable and entirely pressure-free.
The route covers 11 kilometres with a total elevation gain of 275 metres and takes approximately 3.5 hours to complete at a comfortable pace. Setting off in the late afternoon means the group will be rewarded with the trail's most dramatic light: long shadows across the pine forest, cooling temperatures and the kind of stillness that only the mountains can offer as the day winds down.
Organisers ask participants to come prepared: a backpack, a head torch, a jacket and plenty of water are all essential, since mountain conditions can shift quickly even in early September. Beyond the practical, this is an event built around community — a chance to meet fellow hikers, share the experience of Troodos at its most atmospheric, and start the autumn season with a sense of adventure. Entry is completely free, making it one of the most generous outings on the Limassol calendar this September.
