This course is known in the Cyprus Tourist literature as the Artemis trail. It contours around the upper regions of Mount Olympus. At almost 2000 metres it is arduous and demanding. In the summer take a bottle of water / camelbak. In the autumn / early winter make sure you have warm running kit, hat, gloves, a compass, chocolate bar and mobile phone etc. in case you need to summon assistance. In later winter or if there is more than a light dusting of snow it is strongly recommended that you do not attempt the route. Cold injuries are a real threat: do not underestimate the mountain! Refreshments are available at the North face ski slope cafe, Troodos Square and at various hotels / cafes in the area.
