From Larnaka to Paphos to Nicosia

Take your pick on which way you travel and how much you want to cycle during your holiday to Cyprus.
Cyprus is fast becoming a location for cyclists in training, with good weather all year round and a variety of terrain to manoeuvre over and around there is no-where better to start your years training.

There are events organised all year round by the Cyprus Cycling Federation and the Limassol Cycling Club.  In 2005 the first Mountain Marathon MTV Mountainbike race was organised and in 2006 the "Race under the Sun" Cross Country Race was held over the same route.

If competition is not what your looking for but just a leisurely tour to see as much of the island from the seat of a bicycle then here are the route you can follow.  Before you set out though ensure that the route is suitable to your abilities by getting a brochure from the CCF or if you are already in Cyprus your local CTO (Cyprus Tourism Office).
