Adelfoi summit and Madhari Ridge, seen from the north

Adelfoi, sometimes Adelphi, is one of the most beautiful mountains in Cyprus. Even though its summit carries a fire lookout, even though there are radio installations on the south-western side of its summit, even though dirt roads lead to within several hundred metres of its summit, the mountain and its surroundings are among the most impressive formations on the island. Adelfoi is located at the eastern outskirts of the higher part of the Troodos range. By a saddle it is connected to Madhari, a mountain ridge running from west to east.

At the start of the walk is an informative Forestry Department notice board describing the route...

... together with a map showing the various routes in the area, with the Madhari Ridge walk shown at the bottom.
