Rock Climbing
Limestone: Cyprus has lots of it. New to the sport you’ll quickly be able to get used to the safety equipment and get scrambling.
To the south east of the island you’ll find Cavo Greko and its featured soft limestone, there’s a significant hard limestone area in Dhiarizos, between Limassol and Pafos, and some great sandstone climbing to be had at Droushia.
There are opportunities for trad and sport climbing spread across the island, although the more established routes are on the Greek-Cypriot side. Bouldering fans won’t be disappointed either. All the climbs are within an hour’s drive of the sea, so efforts on the rock are easily rewarded with hours in the water.
