The next day, you'll head for Agros, the town of flowers, before taking to the winding trails of the Tróodos mountains, at the foot of Mount Olympus. You'll pass through black pine forests against a backdrop of ochre earth, with panoramic views over the surrounding valleys.
On this gravel adventure, you'll pass through mountain villages with their stone houses, cobbled streets and traditional cafés. A real taste of the Middle East!

You'll then head for the northwest coast, towards the Baths of Aphrodite, an emblematic site of Greek mythology.
Finally, take to the gravel tracks of the wild Akama coast, with its breathtaking views of the turquoise sea and spectacular panoramas of the Mediterranean.
Cyprus is a hidden treasure for gravel enthusiasts!
