Service Description

This is a self-guided 10 km walk (3.5 - 4.5 hours - without breaks) around Akamas north coast. Pickup times: Travellers would take the bus in the morning. Pickup Taxi in Polis to Lysos: 17:00. Not offered on Sundays More info 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 (more difficult in summer), including winter, when the place is largely green and full of wildflowers. Cyprus in ancient time was considered to be the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of love and beauty. Adonis is also a famous legendary figure and was considered to be a man of exceptional beauty, and a figure in various myths. According to legend they regularly met in Akamas. We recommend a clockwise mode for this walking route. Afterwalking 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 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. The walk ends at tiny and mythical Baths of Aphrodite. Transportation: Public Bus 640 (08:20 Mon-Fri, 09:50 Sat) then 622 (usually every hour) It is assummed that travellers will take 622 Bus back to Polis after the walk and possibly explore Polis.
