Route 3, Tseri-Episkopio-Arediou-Agrokipia-Mitsero-Agrokipia-Arediou-Ergates-Psimolofou-Deftera-Tseri
This is a relatively easy route on good quality roads (except the part within Tseri) with some easy and moderate (at least with my standards) climbs mainly between Tseri and Episkopio and Arediou and Mitsero. The roads in most of the route are very quiet. The route starts right off the Nicosia-Limassol motorway (A1), on the exit to Tseri. We head towards Tseri (western direction) and then make a turn towards the south. We continue until we pass an army camp after which we turn right (south-west) towards the village of Analiontas. We take the first paved road turn on our right (western direction) and continue towards Psimolofou until we reach a stop sign. We turn left (south) and enter the main road. We take the first turn on the right, at the stop sign make a left and then take the first turn on the right towards Episkopio. After the first houses at Episkopio we take the first turn to the right and then the second to the right and continue on a western route towards Arediou. When we reach Arediou we make a left turn at the stop sign and then the fourth to the right (west direction) and then the first to our left. We continue until we reach a stop sign, where we cross the main road (the road going to Palaichori) and continue towards Agrokipia and finally Mitsero. On our way back we follow the same route until we pass Arediou, after which instead of continuing to reach Episkopio we take the first paved road turn towards Ergates (north direction). From there onwards the route is straightforward just passing through the village centers of Ergates, Psimolofou and Panw Deftera. When we reach Katw Deftera, we need to make a turn to the right (east direction) towards Tseri (clearly marked). We continue until we reach the traffic lights in Tseri, where we make a turn to the right (south direction) and continue on the main road passing through the center of Tseri and after we pass a zig zag part of the road we take the first turn on the left towards the motorway (eastwards) to get to the start/finish point. The length of the route is 36 miles.
