Combo Aphrodite&Adonis trail -  10 km walking route

The walking route is a combination of Adonis circular trail and Aphrodite circular trail. It is highly recommended for people who prefer not to do a very long walk (the 21 km Akamas Panorama route is recommended for those interested in long walks and for periods outside the hot summer months in Cyprus). The route is excellent all through the year, including winter, when the place is largely green and full of wildflowers.

Aphrodite and Adonis are major actors of the Cyprus mythology and the epitomy of beauty. According to legend they regularly met in Akamas. Usually we recommend a clockwise mode of doing this walking route. After the main ascent on the east stretch of Adonis trail walkers pass by the ruins of a medieval monastery and a huge old oak tree. The route ascends onto the imposing Moutti Tis Sotiras peak, from where walkers enjoy glorious views of the north west coast, and of the north coast, all the way to Pomos village towards the north east. 

The descent from the peak (part of Aphrodite trail) is for many walkers a huge highlight of the walk and probably one of the very best walking routes on the island.

 

The last part of the route is on the coastal dirt road, on the cliffs, offering yet more stunning views of the coastal waters. The walk ends at tiny and mythical Baths of Aphrodite Cave (and natural pool). Lucky guests may see a European eel or two in the pool. 

For those looking for a shorter, yet excellent walk, especially in hot July and August, we recommend 7.5 km Aphrodite trail.

Cyprus Walks Etc offers standard (one can book under Day Trips from Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca) and customisable guided walking trips focused on the Adonis&Aphrodite combo walking route. We also offer self-guided walking trips, from a number of nearby villages and from Paphos, that mainly include GPS information about the routes and relevant transportation. The route is excellent year round (because it is not too long), especially for its vistas. During the hot season, we would recommend it only if walkers  start early. You are welcomed to book with us.
