Overview
Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on G Adventures 7 Day Hiking Cyprus: Kyrenia Coast. Adventure is calling you to Cyprus for a seven-day hiking trip that’ll have you experiencing this incredible region like many never do. Discover beaches, forests and villages on foot around the Kyrenia Mountains, a breathtaking range along the northern coast that’s still mostly a cherished local secret.
Itinerary
Arrive at any time. Tonight, meet your CEO and fellow travellers at the welcome meeting, then opt to head out for dinner with the group.
Discover the historic port town of Kyrenia on today's walks through the Old Town, Kyrenia Castle and the nearby town of Lapta. Visit Kyrenia's ancient harbourfront and stroll the seaside, witness to millennia of maritime trade. (B)
Travel east to the village of Esentepe, where few tourists visit and the local way of life moves at its own pace. With scenic trails through forested areas, enjoy a guided walk that ends at Antiphonitis Church, built as a monastery in the 12th century. (B)
Visit Incircli Cave, the largest in Cyprus, rich with folklore and intricate rock formations. Continue to Kantara Castle, the first of two Crusader castle ruins we will explore this week. Take a scenic walk down to the beach and enjoy free time for a swim. (B)
Climb up to the ruins of St. Hilarion Castle, a majestic maze of stone walls with a very famous lookout point - it's said that Walt Disney took inspiration for one of his fairytale castles here. Continue to Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus. Wander the Old Town and see the striking Selimiye Mosque and Arab Ahmet quarter. Visit a bakery and observe how traditional foods, such as lahmacun (dough topped with minced meat) and olive breads are made. (B/L)
Visit the ruins of Soli, one of the ten ancient kingdoms of Cyprus. Walk the steps of its Roman amphitheatre and admire its beautiful floor mosaics, dating back to the 6th century. Continue to the village of Lefke by hiking through a fertile valley filled with citrus trees. (B)
Depart at any time. (B)
