Kakkaristra and Apalos Hill - February 2022 (15)

            A little known landscape which must be preserved as a monument of natural history and geology is located at Kakaristra gorge, 500 meters southwest of Latsia in Nicosia. It is a site of paramount importance filled with thousands of shell fossils from the age when Cyprus emerged from the sea, almost two million years ago.

The trail is located on the outskirts of Nicosia, in the Latsia region. The walk start is next to the Cyprus Pedagogical Institute. The first part of the trail is along the Kakkaristra gorge where you can see 1.8 million year fossils. The second part of the trail leads you to the Apalos hill which offers spectacular views of Nicosia and the surrounding area. There is an intersection when you climb the Apalos hill where you have the choice to extend the walk towards Tseri.

The Ostrea edulis and Ballanus tintinabulum fossils lie on the walls of the gorge on what used to be a seabed, along a nature trail preserved by the municipality of Latsia.

Cyprus is an island in the Eastern Basin of the Mediterranean Sea. It is the third largest island in the Mediterranean and the world's 80th largest island by area.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
