Why go

  • Wine under the stars included
  • Easy 4.5 km loop, rated 2/5
  • Panoramic views over Nicosia and Lefkara

On 27 June 2026, Salonica View leads a moonlit hike along the Lefkothea (Aetomoutti) trail near the village of Lythrodontas, just a short drive from Nicosia. The route rewards walkers with panoramic vistas stretching across Nicosia, Lefkara and Mathiatis — a trio of landmarks that look entirely different once the sun has gone down and the valley lights begin to flicker below.

The circular trail covers 4.5 km and takes roughly two hours to complete, with a difficulty rating of 2 out of 5. That makes it genuinely accessible: no technical skill required, no specialist gear, just comfortable shoes and a willingness to step outside the city for an evening. The gentle gradient and manageable distance mean the focus stays firmly on the experience rather than the effort.

What sets this particular outing apart is the wine-under-the-stars element woven into the programme. Rather than a purely athletic endeavour, the evening is designed to feel like a social occasion — a chance to slow down, breathe in the warm June air and share a glass with fellow walkers against a backdrop of moonlit hills. It is the kind of detail that turns a hike into a memory.

Tickets are available in two formats depending on how you plan to travel: €13 if you make your own way to the trailhead, or €23 with a return coach from Nicosia. Places are limited, so early booking is advisable for what promises to be one of the more atmospheric evenings on the summer calendar.
