Walking the Vouni Trail from Pano Panagia.

The village of Pano Panagia is best know as the birthplace of Makarios III who was an archbishop of the Cypriot orthodox church and a President of the Republic of Cyprus.
The Vouni trail starts in the centre of the village from near the recently restored three aisled church of Agios Georgios. Look for the sign from the main road and follow the road uphill passing the school on the left. The grape presses will also be seen on the left.
The trail climbs steadily working its way through the vineyards to the Vouni fire look out station. From this amazing viewpoint the vista stretches as far as the high Troodos Mountains and the Akamas Peninsula

From the picnic site the tarmac road is followed past Chrysorrogiatissa Monastery to return to Pano Panagia.
