Cyprus - the island of the goddess of love and beauty, of eternal spring and the life of Aphrodite - is one of the most alluring islands in the Mediterranean! Beyond simply the huge density of sights and tempting beaches per square kilometre, it is also a "mecca" for any cyclist. You can ride here almost all year round, choosing your ideal routes in the mountains or on the coast. We will visit the island's highest mountain (Olympos) and sunbathe on its most scenic and secluded beaches, see grand ancient temples and the small mountain villages of Troodos. We will savour the local cuisine and learn a host of legends and tales - you may believe them or not, but they will seem to follow us wherever we go.
