Pikrovrisi tis Merikas is a short trail with a deep geological heartbeat. Join me inside the gorge, across the Venetian bridge, through farmland and forest, and into the heritage of Kalo Chorio…
Konstantia AchilleosHostThe name Merigas comes from a plant, the tamarix scrap that grows near the riverbanks.
And it's also the name of a medieval neighborhood that once existed near the end of the trail.
The trail starts at the spring called Picrobrisi, which means bitter spring.
The water has this slightly mineral taste because of the volcanic rocks that are weathered with the river water.
Right next to the spring is the old Venetian Bridge, which is a part of a network of Venetian bridges across Cyprus.
