Description

Begin your journey at the main parking area and descend into the cool riverside trail, where plane trees, mossy terraces, and flowing water create one of the most atmospheric corners of Marathasa. Visit the historic Kykkos Watermill and learn how the river once powered everyday life. Continue to the sulfur springs Stomachikos and Psamiakos, where mineral‑rich waters emerge from fractures in the Troodos Ophiolite. Your guide explains the geological processes behind these springs and the healing traditions connected to them. Cross the iconic Lovers’ Bridge and ascend into the village lanes, passing stone houses, wooden balconies, and terraced architecture.
