The Avakas Gorge Nature Trail

This trail leads you through the heart of the Avacas Gorge. The gorge, the limestone rocks and diverse geological formations are a natural wonder born out of aeons of natural erosion.    As you venture deeper you’ll find yourself immersed in a lush vegetation oasis while surrounded by towering cliffs.  You criss-cross the stream and scramble over boulders, so stout waterproof footwear is advisable.  Flora and fauna abound and are best seen in spring time.

Difficulty: 2:   Time:     2 hours

Can be combined with a visit to Lara bay and a swim in the sea.

The Aphrodite Trail, Akamas

The trail starts at the Baths of Aphrodite so we’ll make a brief stop there to see the pool where Aphrodite bathed to maintain her youthful looks.  The trail climbs steadily upwards and offers many amazing vistas out over the azure blue Med.  Our picnic spot is at the highest point of this trail and offers views out over the Blue Lagoon.  The descent trail is often shared with goats!

Difficulty 2/3:     Time 3 hours

Can be combined with a visit to the beach here.

Cape Aspro Trail, Pissouri
