Cyprus is one of the Mediterranean's premier cycling destinations. Blessed with over 300 days of sunshine each year, quiet country roads, spectacular coastal scenery, and challenging mountain terrain, it offers an unforgettable riding experience.
Thanks to its mild winters and long cycling season, Paphos is one of the best bases for cycling in Cyprus, offering a mix of coastal riding, mountain climbs and quiet rural roads. The rides on this tour take us through traditional Cypriot villages, into the Troodos Mountains and to iconic hotspots such as Aphrodite's Rock - the itinerary has been carefully planned to include a unique combination of natural beauty, history, and authentic village life.
Outside of the cycling, Paphos offers a rich history, beautiful beaches and numerous bars and restaurants, so there's plenty to keep you entertained off the bike.
This trip is aimed at at those of you looking to explore a new destination and to challenge yourself in more sunnier climbs. We've included an overview of our itinerary below - please feel free to get in touch with any questions.
Ride the coast from Paphos to one of Cyprus’ most iconic landmarks — Aphrodite’s Rock — where turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs set the scene for unforgettable photos.
We'll continue east to stunning Pissouri Bay for a relaxed seaside coffee before tackling the historic “goat track,” a characterful climb laid over 18th‑century cobbles. Finish with a breezy coastal return to Paphos. A perfect blend of beauty, legend, and a touch of grit.
We'll kick off from Paphos and warm up along the coast before taking on the day’s first big challenge — an epic 11km climb to 600m and the charming hilltop village of Kathikas.
At the summit, enjoy a breezy plateau spin with sweeping west‑coast views before a thrilling descent straight to the sea. We'll ride all the way to the end of the tarmac at Aphrodite’s Baths for photos, then roll into Latchi Harbour for a well‑earned coffee and cake stop.
Refreshed, cruise gently through citrus groves before tackling the final 600m climb home, descending your morning ascent and gliding back into Paphos. A classic Cyprus ride packed with climbs, coastlines, and unforgettable Mediterranean moments.
We'll head north out of Paphos and straight into one of Cyprus’ most rewarding climbing routes — a smooth 16km ascent at just 2% average, leading you to the spectacular Extreme View lookout.
Ride through the striking Chasampoulion Rock formations and roll into Kidasi for a relaxed coffee stop before tackling the main climb of the day. The road winds up toward Dora, crossing the photogenic Trozena Wooden Bridge. Then it’s a long, exhilarating descent all the way to historic Kouklia — the ancient capital of the Paphos region — for coffee and snacks, before cruising back to Paphos on the main road.
A scenic, story‑rich ride packed with gentle gradients, big views, and authentic Cypriot charm.
We'll roll out of Paphos and straight into one of Cyprus’ most irresistible coastal rides. This westward route serves up sun‑soaked scenery from the very first pedal stroke, guiding you along
glittering shoreline roads toward the dramatic Edro III shipwreck.
From here, the adventure sweeps you through lush banana plantations, the air warm and fragrant as you glide toward the iconic Sea Caves. The coastline becomes wilder, more rugged, and impossibly
beautiful as you continue out to Agios Georgiou Harbour, where crystal‑clear waters often reveal turtles drifting lazily beneath the surface.
Today we'll take on Cyprus’ ultimate challenge — a spectacular ride from sun‑soaked Paphos all the way to the island’s highest peak, Mount Olympus. Roll out along the coast before heading inland through traditional villages, forested valleys, and ever‑cooler mountain air as the road lifts you toward the legendary summit. This is a climb that builds beautifully: long, steady gradients, sweeping views, and that growing sense of achievement with every kilometre. At the top, you’re rewarded with panoramic vistas across the Troodos Mountains — the kind of moment every cyclist remembers. The descent is pure joy, a fast, flowing run back through pine forests and wine country before returning to Paphos with a story worth telling. A true Mediterranean epic for riders who want to conquer Cyprus’ rooftop.
The shorter option sets out from Paphos and follows the familiar Wooden Bridge route — but this time, the adventure goes bigger. Once past Kidasi, you'll settle into a smooth 8 km climb to Agios Nikolaos, the perfect spot to regroup, sip a coffee, and soak up the mountain calm. From here, the road sweeps through the breathtaking Geopark, delivering view after view, before curving into the beautiful village of Omodos for coffee, cake, or a leisurely lunch. The return rolls through vineyard country and rejoins the Wooden Bridge route — and even though the roads repeat, the scenery, the light, and the feel of the ride make it a completely new experience. A scenic, flavour‑packed day out in the heart of wine country.
A constantly rolling adventure through traditional villages, vineyard‑lined hillsides, and two rewarding climbs that lift you to 400m and then 600m. At the top, you’re treated to a breathtaking panorama over Paphos before a glorious descent all the way back to the hotel.
Along the way, we'll factor in a coffee stop in a charming local village café —. It’s a scenic, character‑packed ride that delivers pure Mediterranean cycling magic from start to finish and the perfect way to finish off the week.
