PISSOUROMOUTTI NATURE TRAIL

The Pissouromoutti nature trail is a short loop starting at the Smigies picnic site and winding up Pissouromoutti mountain. While modest in height at 420 meters, it ranks among the tallest peaks in this part of the island. Its unique flat, table-like summit spans an area roughly half the size of a football field.

The trail takes you through a peaceful pine forest before reaching the summit, where you’re rewarded with breathtaking views of the Akamas Peninsula, Chrysochou Bay, and Smigies Mountain—the largest and tallest of the table-top peaks in the area.
