Embark on an exhilarating biking adventure along the sun-kissed southern coast of Cyprus, where breathtaking landscapes, historical sites, and charming villages await. This captivating journey will take you from the tranquil shores of Pissouri Bay to the vibrant heart of Paphos, unveiling the island's natural beauty and rich cultural heritage.

Set off from the serene shores of Pissouri Bay, where crystal-clear waters meet the golden sands of the Mediterranean Sea. Enjoy the gentle breeze and the panoramic views of the surrounding mountains as you pedal along the picturesque coastline.

Stop at the iconic landmark of Petra tou Romiou, the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty. Legend has it that this is where Aphrodite emerged from the sea, and the rocky formations along the coast are said to represent her footprint.

Delve into the depths of Cyprus's ancient past at the Palepafos Archaeological Site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wander through the ruins of ancient houses, villas, and baths, and admire the intricate mosaics that once adorned these structures.

Immerse yourself in the traditional Cypriot way of life as you explore the charming village of Kouklia, home to the Sanctuary of Aphrodite. Visit the House of Aphrodite, a reconstructed villa believed to have been dedicated to the goddess, and stroll through the village's narrow streets, lined with traditional houses and shops.

Finally, arrive in the vibrant city of Paphos, where ancient ruins meet modern attractions.

You'll pass through the abandoned village of Androlykou where time stopped still 50 years ago and there will be plenty of other opportunities to stop and take photographs.
