Monopatia is a free guide to all 186 official hiking trails of Cyprus — the native app of monopatia.info. EVERY TRAIL, FULLY OFFLINE Maps, detailed descriptions, elevation profiles with grade bands, and GPX downloads for every route — from coastal walks in Akamas to mountain paths in Troodos. No signal in the mountains? Everything still works. FIND THE RIGHT TRAIL Filter by district, difficulty, and trail type, or browse themed collections — waterfalls, canyons, monasteries, seaside and more. Traffic-aware drive-time estimates show how far each trailhead really is from you, and picnic sites are mapped too. RECORD YOUR HIKES Live track on the map, distance, and accurate barometric elevation gain. Your hike stays on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island while your phone is in your pocket. Finished hikes are matched to the trail and count toward your progress and the Cyprus hiker leaderboard. FIND HIKES YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE The photo scanner matches your photo library's geotags to trails — entirely on your device — so past hikes can count too. You choose what to upload. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Bookmarks, completions, per-district progress and stats. Hikes save to Apple Health as workouts with their routes. Widgets keep your progress on the Home Screen. JOIN THE COMMUNITY Trail reviews with photos, leaderboards, and a live wall of what fellow hikers are completing. Connect Strava to verify completions automatically. Trail weather, trailhead arrival alerts, Spotlight search, and the full interface in English, Greek and Russian. The trail catalogue is curated by Ivan Agafonov from years of field research across the island.
