Cyprus is a cultural melting pot where you’ll find Greek legends in Aphrodite’s secret bathing place near Polis, Roman opulence in the mosaics at Paphos and native art in the Cypriot Byzantine churches that are dotted all over the island. The unique flora and fauna here attracts many visitors. Cyprus is where the flora zones of Africa, Europe and Asia meet, and over 5000 species - including Calabrian pine, Phoenician juniper and rock rose - flourish on the Akamas Peninsula.
Activity holidays in Cyprus
Our hotel-to-hotel
independent walking holiday on Cyprus explores the western corner of the island: the Akamas Peninsula. Isolated from the rest of Cyprus by a tangle of country roads, things have always happened slowly here. Farming remains the main activity, with old men working the vine terraces the way their grandfathers did before them. Mule tracks are still key transport routes and locals still ride on donkeys along the paths you walk on.
Cyprus has a wonderfully sunny year-round climate where even the sunniest days are cooled by the gentle sea breezes that rustle the island - it's an ideal choice for relaxed exploration in the spring, autumn and winter months. Our
cycling holiday on Cyprus takes you past sweeping views, through lush and exotic flora and into the traditional white villages and fishing hamlets.
