The best Autumn colours are found in these places in Cyprus

The Autumn months in Cyprus are generally pleasant and energising. Enjoy the beauty and intensity of autumn in Cyprus while September and October can often be as hot as August.

Towards the end of October evenings tend to get cooler. In October through November, leaves change colour and vineyards in Troodos Mountains take on gold and crimson hues against a backdrop of crystal clear sunlight.

In Cyprus, even mid-November can feel like summer but by month’s end medium-weight apparel for the late afternoons and evenings will enhance the traveler’s experience.

Enjoy beautiful autumn days in Troodos by visiting the forest, the villages, the vineyards and the amazing views from the highest points of Troodos Mountains.

A complete network of amazing walking trails starting either from the top of the Troodos mountains, with unspoiled, breathtaking views over the sea and the near by villages or across the rivers where the sounds of nature blended with the beauty of the trees and plants invite you to a lifetime experience beyond your imagination and expectations.

Here are some of our favourite places, in Troodos Mountains to see Autumn colours.

1. TZIELEFOS BRIDGE

Tzielefos Bridge is one of the medieval bridges positioned between the Elia and Roudia bridges. Another great walking route can be found just over an hour’s drive inland in the verdant Troodos Mountains. There, you can take a trail from Kaminaria Village to the stunning medieval Tzelefos Bridge. You’ll pass the equally entrancing Elia Bridge on your way too. Surrounded by dense, fragrant pine forests, this trek is one of the most scenic and interesting on the whole of the island. The trip from Kaminaria to Tzelefos Bridge is a little over 8km. The “Venetian Bridges” nature trail is linear and connects three of the Venetian Bridges of the Pafos Forest namely Elias, Tzielefos and Roudias Bridge.

It can be reached from Lemesos by following the B8 route, and then the F825 for Kato Platres. The picturesque village resembles an amphitheatre, with the lower part of the village having one altitude and the upper part having another, thus separating it into Pano (upper) and Kato (lower) Platres.
