Itinerary
Fancy a week of trekking along sun-drenched trails, ancient chapels, and crystal-clear beaches? 'Walking the Akamas Peninsula' delivers just that—an eight-day self-guided hiking tour through one of Cyprus’s most unspoiled regions. Designed for moderately active travelers, this trip starts inland in the charming village of Droushia, with walks to Kremiotis Waterfall and the medieval Agia Paraskevi chapel.
As you traverse the Laona Plateau and approach the coast, panoramic vistas open up, leading you to Lara Beach and onward to the Baths of Aphrodite cave. Each stage unveils stretches of the Smigies, Adonis, and Aphrodite Trails, including breathtaking peaks like Moutti tis Sotiras. Along the north coast, you’ll encounter secluded coves—Fontana Amoroza, Blue Lagoon, and Manolis Beach—perfect for relaxing after a day’s walk.
The tour’s standout feature is its seamless blend of inland and coastal exploration, with luggage transfers ensuring comfort and flexibility. For travelers seeking a balance of cultural charm and natural beauty, this is the ultimate Cyprus walking adventure.
