Walking
Once into the Troodos Mountains, you’ll find great tracks and trails to negotiate. Thanks to having many heavily-forested regions, the going is good, but can be testing. The focal point of many of these walks are the three natural trails that wind their way around its foothills. There are other areas to wander that are less testing: Machairas to the east, the Pafos Forest to the west, and routes on the north coast are great alternatives. Mountain villages are sleepy, but welcoming of visitors. Walking in Cyprus you’ll get to rest up in peaceful village squares and make the most of the inland calm.
If you prefer walking through woods to trekking up mountains then there’s the Limassol Forest to explore. Set back from the town of the same name, it’s easy to find and you’ll never have to climb past 3000 feet. These routes are all well established. Underfoot, expect typical tracks and trails, with the air infused with the aroma of sweet pines.
As an island Cyprus has hundreds of coastal paths to wander. Look to the Akamas Peninsula for some of the best routes and there’s always a chance of a dip so pack those trunks.
