Although walking in Cyprus can be enjoyed throughout the year, the recommended seasons are during late Autumn (November) and spring, when the Cyprus rural and forest areas are at full bloom.
You will feel closer to nature when you engage in the sport of mountain walking at our Adventure Park. Our mountain walk will lead you through the well-known study of nature known as "doxa soi 0 Theos". This is a unique and magical experience. The walk offers a combination of cardio vascular exercise as well as an internal peace that can only be felt this close to the beauty of nature. Relax under the shade of a pine tree, or enjoy the view of the magnificent green heaven as it unfolds before you. Perhaps add some adventure to your walk by organizing a treasure hunt or any other games you may enjoy.
