September 17, 2019The first mountain Hut in Cyprus for our federation members.
The Hut is located in the mountain regions of Macheras aria between Lythrodontas village and Mandres Machera on the E4 path.
Book ahead
It is essential for hikers to book their accommodation beforehand.
Bring your own food and sleeping bag
When staying in a Cyprus hut, you have to bring your own sleeping bag as neither sleeping bags nor blankets are provided. The huts are warm, so the sleeping bag does not have to be of arctic quality.
In the bigger huts you can expect both running water and water toilets but in some of the smaller ones, you will have to fetch water.
Please note that it is not possible to buy hot, ready-made meals in the huts. Thus you will need to bring and carry your own food when hiking in Cyprus,
Furthermore, you cannot leave any trash or garbage behind but have to carry it with you back to the lowlands.
You can camp next to the huts for a camping fee but camping guests have to bring their own stove and utensils as they cannot use the kitchen facilities in the huts.
Day-guests, i.e. those guests who only visit for a part of the day and are not staying in the huts or camping nearby, will have to pay facility fee when using the hut’s facilities, such as lunch shelter, toilet or outdoor grill.
Ask for our pricelist for huts and camping from the federation’s office.
It is possible to book accommodation in the huts through the office by sending an e-mail or calling.
