The story

Makria Kontarka is the end of the Persephone trail, at about 1,650 meters. A wide view opens up from here. About 500 meters before the viewpoint, the trail crosses the forest road from Troodos Square to the Cold River. Cyprus endemics grow along the trail: golden oak, Troodos catmint and Cyprus skullcap. You go back the same way.
