Machairas Monastery-Pediaios Gorge trail. Starting point is a location outside Politiko village in Nicosia district. Follow a well marked trail to the Monastery. Visit the Monastery and the hide-out and museum of Gregori Afxentiou, a national hero who sacrificed himself in 1957 in the area. Take the same trail to go back to the starting point. The trail is of moderate difficulty because of its length, a total of 14 km. It takes about 4 hours. Allow time to return before it gets dark and bring with you enough water and a snack.

Founded in the mid-1100s this monastery is beautifully located and carefully restored. It houses an impressive collection of icons.

A really old monastery, hidden inside the Machairas forest. If you go on a quiet day, the experience is other worldy, the old stone walls, the trees, the serenity all work together to bring you in an introspective experience, even if you are not religious.
