The Akamas National park area is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt parts of Cyprus and the best way to really experience it is on foot. This full day walking tour will show you hidden gems, stunning scenery, natural wonders and the biodiversity of the North-west coastline of the Cyprus.
Available All year round. Please book at least 7 days in advance
Highlights:
This tour is available Monday to Friday (not at weekends), all year round, excluding public holidays.
The start time is around 08.30am
The walk itself will last around 5 hours.
The walk is in the Akamas peninsula, a pristine area, almost untouched by man, rich in biodiversity.
Usually, we do a 10 -km combination of Adonis and Aphrodite trails and ascend to the peak known as 'Moutti tis Sotiras' from where one enjoys unobstructed views of the north Akamas coast from Cape Arnaouti, the tip of Akamas, towards the northwest to the Bay of Polis and all the way to Pomos in the northeast.
After a pause for a picnic and for enjoying the majestic view, we walk to Baths of Aphrodite cave on the Aphrodite trail (the last stretch is on the coastal dirt road, near the cliff).
We can make other arrangements for shorter walks in the area if travellers prefer (eg. do the 7-km Aphrodite trail).
We can also arrange to extend the walk to Blue Lagoon cove, an excellent place for swimming in Cyprus or the adjacent Fontana Amoroza cove, or even a one-way coastal walk to Fontana Amoroza/Blue Lagoon with boat transportation - for a fee - in the opposite way.
The trip is all about a customisable walk along the north coast of the Akamas peninsula.
