Cyprus Supreme

On Day 6 walkers do a combination of Adonis circular trail and Aphrodite circular trail. The route is excellent all through the year (more difficult in summer), including winter, when the place is largely green and full of wildflowers.

 According to legend Aphrodite and Adonis regularly met in Akamas. After walking up 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. Walkers enjoy glorious views of the north west coast, and of the north coast, upto Pomos village towards the north east. 
The descent from the peak is 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. The walk ends at tiny and mythical Baths of Aphrodite.

On Day 5, after a two-hour drive from Kakopetria to the Laona Plateau, the ride ends at Kathikas village. Kathikas hosts the Akamas Information center. There are two wineries in the vicinity. It also has a good number of traditional restaurants. 

The Day 5 walk is on the Laona Plateau at an elevation of 600 meters, and offers vistas to the west coast of Akamas and to the bay of Chrysochou. This is a cultural route that connects 4 stone-built villages, providing opportunities to see traditional village architecture, try Cyprus coffee, and visit a number of (other) museums, including the Knights museum and the Geological museum in Pano Arodes and the Sea Turtle Museum in Inia. The route also passes by a winery near Kathikas. The walk starts at Kathikas and ends in Droushia. It can be great year round, showcasing the change of seasons, from green fields and wildflowers in bloom in winter and much of spring, to golder colours and some vineyards in summer, and more earthy colours in autumn. 

​​​On Day 7 morning, the package ends. If travellers want we can book additional nights, etc, otherwise we arrange a taxi for them.
