For a beautiful Cyprus camping experience in the stunning pine forest, pay a visit to the Stavros tis Psokas forest station. The facility is located right in the middle of Paphos Forest.

It is located 5km (3.5 miles) from Kakopetria on the Kakopetria – Troodos road. The site has washrooms, kitchen facilities, a kiosk, and picnic tables.

Polis Chrysochous Campsite

What to keep in mind

Visitors are encouraged to be considerate of nature, and of other guests’ comfort.
