Sotira Summit
The highest point of the Aphrodite trail
The story
From the Baths, for the first 2.5 kilometers, the Aphrodite trail runs together with the Adonis trail. It’s a rocky climb of about an hour to the ruins of Pyrgos tis Rigainas. Then the trail turns northwest and climbs to the summit of Sotira. This is the highest point of the trail, about 330 meters above the sea. From here you can see Cape Arnaoutis, Polis Chrysochous and the Paphos Forest.
On the trail
