ROUTE 10 - MTB (AVERAGE) - VOUNI - POTAMIOU - KOILANI – VOUNI

Route 10 MTB (Average) - Vouni - Potamiou - Koilani – Vouni (30.7Km)

Intermediate mountain bike ride. Good fitness required. Suitable for all skill levels.

Starting from Vouni village you are already quite high up in the mountain, so the route descends between vineyards and wild vegetation towards the Community of Potamiou. Before reaching the village of Potamiou, you pass through groves of olive trees.

Also, after finishing the descents towards Potamiou, you will cross the Ha-river through the Venetian bridge which used to connect the village with Vouni and Kilani.

In the village you can visit the chapel of Ayios Mnasonas which was built in 300 a.C and the catacombs.

From Potamiou you will slowly climb towards Kilani, between vineyards and other wild vegetation. To the north of the route, you can enjoy the view towards Omodos.

When you arrive to Kilani you can see the traditional beauty of the village. Also, the clay jars in the courtyards of the houses demonstrate its importance as a wine village.

Further down you will find the church of Ayia Mavri and the huge plane tree.

The return to Vouni village is again through dirt roads and vineyards.
