Hallo. I hope I'm not too late to help.
It depends a bit on how hard walkers you are.
You might also wish to try the Cyprus Tourist Association (http://www.visitcyprus.org.cy/)
They have a new book out which covers the E4 long distance footpath, which goes all round the south of the island (opened last year), as well as including many other/all? of the organised routes.
I emailed them recently from England and they sent a whole pile, including the book.
You can get specific leaflets for given trails in the CTO offices and other places e.g. the Troodos information centre.
We went for a week in May and did the following: all through the Avgas gorge and round down to Lara, the Artemis Trail round the top of Chionistra (Troodos), Cedar Valley Circular, Horteri Trail from Stavros tis Psokas (Pafos forest), a little round tour from Smigies (Akamas foested area.) A nice mix of different areas and kinds of terrain.
You would have to organise carefully to do the E4 as they appear to be long stages but I reckon from near Kykkos to Stavros, then nearly down to Polis (take a taxi the last bit) would do 2 good days.
Be a bit careful using any old-ish books for routes. They might give ideas but the ones I had proved a bit misleading because things change. Most importantly, many of the old unsurfaced roads in the mountains have now been tarmaced and their importance upgraded - also becoming busier with more traffic.
Do try me again if you want any more ideas.
Good luck and good walking!
Clare
