Walking Trip : Akamas Panorama

Walking tour in Polis

Tour Price : €230 Duration : 7 hours Languages: Greek, English, Spanish, German

The trip starts and finishes in Paphos (unless other arrangements are made, possibly at a different price).

The walk is in a pristine, almost untouched by man, rich in biodiversity area of Cyprus. Usually we start walking in Neo Chorio village and initially go through farmland west to the Smiyies picnic area. From there the route goes north and ascends to the peak known as 'Moutti tis Sotiras' from where one enjoys unobstructed views of the north coast from Cape Arnaouti, the tip of Akamas, towards the north west all the way to Pomos in the north east.  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).

One may see many different plant species, many of them in bloom from February to May. The walk offers incredible vistas initially of the west coast towards Lara and then of the north coast of Akamas. We can make other arrangements for shorter walks in the area if travellers prefer (eg. do the 7-km Aphrodite trail or even a one way coastal walk with boat transportation -for a fee- in the opposite way).

Please remember that Phivos is the author of the book 'Exploring Authentic Cyprus' and offers services around the whole island, including walking trips.  We can customise your trip in a way that best matches your preferences.
