Itinerary

Imagine wandering through Cyprus’s Akamas Peninsula in winter, when mild temperatures and a riot of wildflowers transform the landscape into a natural wonderland. The Cyprus Winter Walking tour is an 8-day, self-guided hiking holiday designed for experienced and senior travelers who cherish both nature and tranquility.

Set between Drouseia and Agios Georgios Tis Pegeias, this moderate-activity trip meanders through the Akamas National Park and the Laona plateau, weaving past traditional villages, lush orange groves, and sun-drenched vineyards. Some trails end at the inviting Mediterranean coast, where rare tulips and orchids bloom and migrating birds begin their return to Europe.

The journey is enriched by the warmth and hospitality of the Cypriot people, whose friendly welcome adds a memorable touch to your adventure. Unlike crowded resorts, this tour emphasizes authentic local experiences and unspoiled scenery. With accommodation, transport, and meals included, you’ll enjoy the freedom to explore at your own pace—making it an ideal getaway for those who value natural beauty and genuine cultural connections in a serene, off-season setting.

day 1Arrive Cyprus

Arrive at Phaphos airport and meet our driver for a transfer to Drouseia (incl.). This is a small typically Cypriot village on the edge of the Akamas Peninsula, on the Laona plateau. It has many old stone houses bearing traditional architecture such as carved doors and wooden windows and narrow winding streets. There are two coffee shops, as well as two small supermarkets/kiosks and some good tavernas, normally open on weekends in winter. The church of Agios Epifanios is in the centre, where you can also explore the ancient monastery of Agios Georgios Nikoxilitis on the eastern side. In the nearby village of Ineia, only a mile away, there is a Sea Turtle museum, that opened in 2023, well worth a visit. From Drouseia you can see all the way across to the Troodos Mountains and, looking north you can see Chrysochou Bay, the town of Polis and Latchi harbour. Looking west, there are stunning views of the Akamas Peninsula.

Accommodation

The Droushia Heights Hotel offers accommodation for 4 nights. It is found on the north edge of the village, offering excellent views towards Chrysochou Bay from its infinity pool and terrace. All rooms are ensuite.
