The original # 7 cache was destroyed by the fire that devastated part of the forest in September last year.
Things are making a remarkable recovery so we are resurrecting this one to fill in the gap in the Trail.
Update March 2026, I don’t think you’d know there had been a fire here everything is so overgrown, because of this we have moved the cache nearer to the path.
Below is the description of the original cache......
This is a series of caches laid along the trails in Pykni Forest. We started off originally with 6 locations but now are extending this to 16.
The first part of the series (# 1 - 5) can be driven with care, however it is a really nice walk.....but take water and as always in Cyprus, watch out for snakes. Keep to the paths, do not attempt to take short cuts through the trees.
As with most trails they can be dusty in Summer and muddy after rain. Please be aware of the risk of fire and be careful to dispose of cigarette ends responsibly.
The first 5 caches are placed in the forest on the left side of the road from Peyia/Coral Bay to Kathikas, whilst the rest are on the opposite side of the road.
The forest contains a numbers of different species of trees and some of these have been used to provide homes for the caches. The series consists of a mixture of containers but all house only a log sheet so please bring your own pen. Tweezers may also be necessary for some.
Please take care when retrieving the containers and replace exactly as found. Hopefully the coordinates will be fairly accurate but being amongst tall trees may be a problem.
