Secrets of Cyprus Cycling

• Wonderfully varied cycling: traditional white villages, colourful fishing hamlets, seafront tavernas
• Friendly family-run hotels, by the sea or with outdoor pools; superb meals
• 320 days of sunshine a year - perfect for year round cycling - views to Turkey on a clear day
• Exotic Mediterranean flora: orchids, citrus groves, vineyards and olive trees
• Excellent bird-spotting: kestrels, red-footed falcons, Cyprus warblers

Offering a myriad of contrasts, Cyprus is the perfect destination for a week's cycling. Combining rural tranquillity with landscapes of citrus groves, vineyards studded with olive trees, banana plantations and azure coastal waters, you explore a secret side of Aphrodite's Isle that many visitors never see. A visit to historic Paphos is included too, so full of antiquities that UNESCO designated the entire town a World Heritage Site.

The cycling, managed by our local agent, Anthology Tours is both varied and relaxed as you pedal through attractive white villages, and along gentle traffic-free trails below rolling hills brimming with colourful cyclamen. Occasional climbs are rewarded by spectacular vistas, and there's always a welcoming taverna or tempting picnic spot en route too! The coast is never far away either if you fancy a dip.

Our family-run hotels offer a welcoming taste of the real Cyprus including the recently opened spa resort of Ayii Anargyri, a former monastery in Miliou. Two hotels are by the sea - spectacular sunsets provide the perfect backdrop to a relaxing aperitif on the terrace.
