Hiking and rambling
The Cyprus Tourism Organisation and the
Forestry Department have created over sixty
nature trails to assist hikers and ramblers enjoy
the island’s hills and vales. The trails, some linear
and others circular, help walkers discover the
most fascinating corners of Cyprus.
The terrain varies from that of Cape Gkreko
in the southeast, through the Troodos
Mountains, the foothills and forests
to the Akamas peninsula in the west.
The trails, which are designed to take in areas
of outstanding natural beauty and cultural
importance, are on gentle gradients and are
divided into three degrees of difficulty with two
trails suitable for the disabled.
Wooden signboards mark the start of each trial
and there are pointers to interesting flora
or geological features along each route.
The CTO’s booklet ‘European Long Distance Path
E4 and other Cyprus Nature Trails’ gives details
of the European E4 Path and all the nature trials
with the length, duration and degree of difficulty
of each one. You can pick up a copy at the
nearest CTO information office.
Cycling
If your idea of travelling is to have the wind on
your face, the sun on your back,
the gentle crunch of tyres on gravel,
the scent of pines around you and a glimpse
of the sea sparkling in the distance,
then cycling in Cyprus is for you.
