Short
This guidebook has been designed to provide visitors with an extensive
insight into the delightful world of rural Cyprus. This is a world apart from
the beaches and tourist hotspots. Here, timeless villages, tiny remote
painted churches, stunning scenery, forested mountain trails and a way
of life that has hardly changed over the past centuries, are just waiting
to be discovered.
The first part of this book provides general information on rural Cyprus,
its history, traditions, cultures, flora and fauna, places of interest and more.
The second half of the book, details 15 recommended driving excursions.
All of the routes can be accomplished easily within a day’s drive
in a regular car, yet all have something different to offer.
The routes highlight points-of-interest along the way and all start and finish
on one of the main roads. These routes are also ideal for organised
group tours with small buses.
The routes include places to stop for walking, cycling, bird watching,
fresh-water fishing or to simply explore the countryside
and charming villages. All that’s needed is a good road map,
a sunhat, plenty of water, comfortable walking shoes and
a spirit of adventure.
NOTE: The spellings of all place-names conform to those indicated
on the road signs. However, in some cases, these may vary from
those shown on your road map.
