- Pano Panayia - One of the two trails is located at the Vouni Panagias peak, above the village of Pano Panagias. This circular path begins in the village at an altitude of approximately 800 meters and climbs to the peak, which is about 1,150 meters high. The trail mostly traverses the plateau, renowned as one of Cyprus’s finest grape-growing regions. Hikers can enjoy views of the vineyards, rock formations, and vistas extending to Ezousa Valley, Xeros Potamos Valley, Paphos Forest, and even as far as Akamas.
- Panagia of Sintis - This is considered one of the island’s top attractions, blending a medieval monastery with a natural setting, away from modern developments. Typically, the walk to the monastery involves crossing a stream both on the way there and back. The customizable (standard) route is approximately four (4) kilometers long.
- Chrysorrogiatissa Monastery - If time permits, a visit to this historic, 1,000-year-old monastery can provide a brief pause before embarking on the main walk at Vouni Panayias peak, which begins at Pano Panayia village, just a few kilometers down the road.
Travelers are expected to spend around thirty minutes at the monastery.
