Platy valley is one of the jewels of Cyprus nature. The walk is customizable, from a few km, going easily upto twenty km. The longest walk inside the shaded valley would be about sixteen km. The walk in the Valley is on a dirt road next to the stream (the sound of running water that is flowing all year round, is soothing). The negative fact is that we will most probably meet some cars on the dirt road, many of which are Safari cars goings through the Valley towards Kykkos monastery Winter walks have the advantage of more water in the stream and fewer cars in the valley. On the other hand, towards summer Platy valley becomes lush, which compensates for the decrease in the stream flow and the relative traffic. Walkers may see many pine and plane trees, an abundance of bracken and even fig trees. It is possible to encounter frogs, fresh water crabs or moufflon in the valley.
