Description
Cyprus on foot, from sea to mountains.
Cyprus offers more than just beaches. Coastal cliffs, forest trails, and elevated landscapes provide opportunities for a varied holiday experience. ‘Walking in Cyprus’ showcases the southern part of the island, with a selection that allows for combining shorter excursions and longer hikes.
33 routes with maps at 1:40,000.
The walks range from approximately 3–20 kilometers and are graded across three difficulty levels. The guide covers areas including the west coast and Akamas Peninsula, the Troodos Mountains, and regions in the south and east of the island. Descriptions and maps are supplemented with practical information on access, parking, and refreshment options, enabling comprehensive planning for each walking day.
Nature and culture within the same walking holiday.
Akamas, Avakas Gorge, Troodos, and Cape Greco reveal diverse aspects of the landscape. The book also provides background information on history, nature, and points of interest. Based in locations such as Paphos, Platres, and Troodos, you can select walks that suit your stay, integrating Byzantine churches and historical sites into your journey.
Who is this book suitable for?
This guide is suitable for holidaymakers seeking a varied selection of marked trails, from short, easy routes to longer days in more challenging terrain. Spring and autumn are particularly ideal for walking. In summer, the mountains offer a cooler alternative, while the lower coastal areas also provide walking opportunities during the winter months.
A long tradition of walking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged from climbers and mountaineers who wished to share their thorough knowledge of routes – a tradition that continues to characterize these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
