Welcome to the 4 peaks challenge

If you’re searching for a truly meaningful escape this spring, we invite you to discover the tranquil charm of Agioi Vavatsinias, nestled beneath the awe-inspiring Kionia Peak—the fourth highest in Cyprus. Imagine strolling through fields adorned with wildflowers and blossoming trees, as the gentle breeze whispers through ancient forests.

At Cyprus Art Retreat and Chloe’s Kitchen, it is our pleasure to welcome you into a peaceful haven where nature’s beauty takes center stage supported with our mountain lodge and traditional taverna. From February onward, our mountains burst into vibrant life, offering guided hikes along serene forested slopes—each step an invitation to reflect and renew your spirit.

We would be delighted for you to join us on this special journey. To reserve your spot on one of our thoughtfully curated hikes. Together we can explore some of Cyprus’ most remote and picturesque landscapes—from half-day or full-day adventures in regional mountains to reaching the summit of Troodos itself.

Our routes wind through farmlands, orchards, vineyards, lush forests, and mountain villages steeped in history—places that echo stories from centuries past. Along these paths lies the unique opportunity to encounter all four tallest peaks of Cyprus: Kionia (1,447 m), Papoutsa (1,554 m), Madari (1,613 m), and Chionistra (1,952 m)—the crowning jewels of the Troodos Mountain Range.

Minimum stay 5 nights, min 2 people (*). Eur160 pp per day, * For a group of 2 people there is a surcharge of Euro 250 for the stay. 

Discover new perspectives among Cyprus’ breathtaking peaks and valleys.

We are especially grateful to have Theodosia Hadjiloe as our guide—a true lover of the wild who finds joy under starlit skies on mountain trails. Born in the stunning Akamas Peninsula—the heartland of Cypriot wilderness—Theodosia has cherished nature since childhood and embraces every adventure with enthusiasm (even camping in snow just for fun!). Her passion has led her across majestic ranges worldwide—from the Himalayas to the Andes—and she brings this wealth of experience home to share with us here.

As a certified hiking leader with both national and international federations—and with deep knowledge about local flora, fauna & history—Theodosia is more than just a guide; she is an inspiring companion whose warmth ensures every trek becomes an unforgettable experience.

We sincerely hope you’ll join us soon—to reconnect with nature’s wonders while making cherished memories together amidst Cyprus’ spectacular landscapes!

Calling all hikers and runners – the trails around the picturesque mountain village of Agioi Vavtsinia are calling you.

Enjoy fresh mountain air and stunning views as you navigate our circular routes, that start and finish at Chloes Kitchen in the heart of the village.

If you are lucky, you may be treated to the sight of a magnificent long-legged buzzard floating in the sky above you.

Our 5 km Blue Route quickly takes you out of the village into the surrounding hills, where you will delight in panoramic vistas of bushland, farmland and the surrounding mountainsides. Pass two dams and navigate a riverbed as you test out this moderately easy route.

Our 11km route is a little more challenging. 

Follow the blue arrows of the village trail before branching off after about 2.3 km to cross a dam wall and head up into the mountains.

Navigate some eroded tracks you will finally join up with the village Blue Route track again.
