Walking holiday Akamas & Troodos

Few people know it, but Cyprus is a fantastic walking island: over two hundred waymarked trails, from coastal paths with sea views to mountain routes through centuries-old pine forests. This sample trip combines the two finest walking areas — the Akamas peninsula and the Troodos Mountains — with comfortable bases and the best routes for the season.

Highlights of this trip

• The Aphrodite and Adonis trails, with panoramas over the bay of Polis
• The Avakas Gorge: walking between walls thirty metres high
• The Atalanti trail around the highest peak of the Troodos
• Waterfall walks near the mountain villages around Platres
• Rest days by the sea, with a swim after the final kilometres
• Walking through the Laona wine villages, with a tasting as your reward

You start on the west coast and warm up on a coastal path with sea views, followed by a refreshing swim. In the days that follow, coastal and mountain stages alternate, exactly at the rhythm that suits you — with a route description and GPX track from Niki in your pocket every day.
