MONDAY

 

THE GORGE TREK

Grade: INTERMEDIATE Distance: 11kms

A slippery and challenging journey through one of Cyprus’ most impressive natural wonders: A giant

limestone canyon. This trek begins at the foot of an isolated goatpath and ends on top of a 300m cliff. Superb views, fantastic scenery, lots of hopping from boulder to boulder and visits to the impressive tunnel and

amphitheatre sections. Our most popular Trek.

 

TUESDAY

 

LUNAR LANDSCAPE TREK

Grade: INTERMEDIATE Distance: 14kms

This trekking adventure features a combination of two extremely isolated environments: a large river canyon and high chalk plateaux overlooking the sea. The coastal sections takes place along steep, 200m sea cliffs, where "moon-like" erosional sculpture and many deserted beaches can be observed. Perfect for bird-watching and wild flowers in Spring.

 

WEDNESDAY

 

THE POTAMOS TREK

Grade: EASY/INTERMEDIATE Distance: 12kms

An abandoned river valley provides some of the most dazzling walking landscape on the island; trek to deserted medieval monuments, see hillsides carpeted with anemones, asphodels, orchids and poppies in the springtime, and visit unique bird sanctuaries year round. Crossing active streams means you may get your feet wet from time to time! Takes you into the heart of western Cyprus.

THURSDAY

 

THE DREAM TREK

Grade: EASY/INTERMEDIATE Distance: 15kms Like the ‘Dream Team’ from certain sports arenas, we have collected individual ‘landscape stars’ and incorporated them

into one single-day trekking adventure. This trek features three of the most unusual (and unforgettable) nature spots in western Cyprus: a spectacular 10m high waterfall (optional swimming), a

unique valley/canyon area with the weirdest rock formations in Cyprus, and a mysterious stretch of coastline with dozens of sea caves, natural archways and other forms of erosional sculpture. Like a dream, it’s too good to be true!

 

FRIDAY

 

THE DHIARIZOS RIVER VALLEY TREK

Grade: EASY Distance: 10-14kms

Through orchards, vineyards and pine forests we reach the

upper ridges of the Dhiarizos valley, passing many ancient villages, medieval monuments. Of the four major river systems in western Cyprus, the Dhiarizos valley is the longest, most historically rich and, in terms of landscape, the most physically diverse. For your walking pleasure we’ve selected the most spectacular section featuring ever changing environments, up-hills, down-hills, ridge-tops and more gentle, riverbed sections. Although gentler than some of our other Treks, the constantly changing landscape makes this one of the more memorable walking experiences

in Cyprus.

 

SATURDAY

 

THE CIRCUM AKAMAS TREK

Grade: INTERMEDIATE Distance: 15-20kms

Circumnavigate the environmental wonderland of the Akamas peninsula using goat-paths, ancient agricultural tracks and nature trails. See the mixed pine-juniper forest and the fragile northern Akamas coastline featuring the ultra-clear turquoise waters of the Fontana Amoroza area (swimming optional). Trek into the heart of Cyprus’ ‘sacred Nature lands’ and experience the magic of this unique environmental wonderland. A few steep, hilly sections make this a bit of a work-out, but not without rewards: Probably the best coastal scenery in Cyprus!
