Five Finger Mountain Walk

 

This undulating walk is good to begin with on your first day or if you fancy just a short morning out walking to get a taste of the Kyrenia Mountains. The wide track leads you around the prominentBeşparmak Mountain(Five Fingers Mountain) and offers some great views along the coastline of North Cyprus. According to legend the mountain is the handprint of the famous Cypriot hero Dighenis. This walking trail is really nice in the Spring, especially if you enjoy seeing wildflowers and/or like bird watching.

The Alevkaya Forest Walk

 

This is a pretty walk through the ‘Gondollar’ forest with views to the Beşparmak (Five Fingers) Mountain and the coastline of North Cyprus. The walk ends after a steep section where you will come to the ‘Lovers Leap’. At the so called cliff edge there is a great view point. A small path then descends from here and leads to the ruined Armenian Monastery SourpMagar. From here the path mounts steadily to the picnic area in the Alevkaya Forest. Here the walk finishes, but a visit of the North Cyprus Herbarium is recommended.

 

Trail summary: Easy to moderate, with some steep uphill sections.

Buffavento Castle – Bellapais Walk

 

The wide track leads slightly uphill to the ridge. Most of the way you have views over the Mesaoria Plain and on clear days the Troodos Mountain Range is also visible. The second part of the walk continues downhill to the gorgeous village of Bellapais. Along some sections of the walking trail the Monastery is visible and many of the views make for a stunning photograph. Following the trial you also pass the former house of Lawrence Durell and the author of ‘Bitter Lemons’. Within Bellapais village there are several restaurants offering nice Kebabs (grilled lamb or chicken) or Cypriot Meze (selection of small starters). After a rest it is highly recommended to visit the famous Bellapais Abbey – a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and one of the must visit sites in North Cyprus.
