Southern Cyprus Panoramic Slow Loop
From Akamas in the west to Cape Greco in the east, with two nights in the mountains and a relaxed stay in Nicosia.
Take your time exploring the southern regions: stay three consecutive nights in Paphos, split your mountain stays between the Marathasa Valley and Platres, spend three nights in Limassol balancing ruins and the old town, stay overnight in Nicosia to allow plenty of time for museums, and finish on the east coast. Although there are several accommodation changes, daily driving distances are short. The northern side is only visited on foot across the line in Nicosia. Perfect for couples or retired travelers with plenty of time who prefer not to rush.
Some mountain taverns close from November to March; snow chains may be required on high-altitude roads after snowfall.
