For those who want to combine healthy living with pleasure, a cycling holiday is the answer. Cyprus has much to offer the cyclist.

The mountains provide ideal biking terrain, stunning views, quiet tarmac roads, even quieter paths and clean, fresh air. The unspoiled villages with their historic churches offer perfect stopping-off points.

A cycling holiday on the mountains will challenge even the most hardened cyclist, but novices should not be daunted, shorter, gentler routes are easily found.
