The story

After the ruins of Pyrgos tis Rigainas, the Adonis trail heads southeast, through the area called Kefalovrysia. There is a fountain here, but its water is not drinkable. From here you can switch to the Smigies trail. On this stretch, the Department of Forests leaflet marks the site of an old nursery, where seedlings were grown for planting forests. It also marks myrtle and Bosea cypria, a plant found only in Cyprus. Its genus has just three species in the world.
