Anyone planning a winter hiking trip to Cyprus faces a choice: whether to strike out among the terraced olive groves, crumbling Byzantine churches and pineswathed mountains of the interior, or instead to make for the coast, and explore cliff-top trails that meander above azure waters, traversing beaches where turtles nest. Fortunately InnTravel’s self-guided walking trip handily combines the two – with time evenly divided between the Troodos Mountains (often capped with winter snows) and the Akamas Peninsula, where summer sunbathing crowds are notably absent and cool temperatures make for comfortable walking.
