WILD TRAIL, MEDITERRANEAN VIEWS & UNTOUCHED TERRAIN

Cyprus is a gravel destination of contrasts.

In a single tour, you’ll ride through dense pine forests in the Troodos Mountains, climb high-altitude gravel roads around Mount Olympus, and descend toward coastal gravel tracks overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

This is not one type of riding—it’s a complete gravel landscape.

It feels like a hidden corner of Europe built for gravel riding, where every day brings something new and unforgettable.

From quiet forest roads to big mountain views and fast coastal gravel above turquoise water, Cyprus constantly shifts character. It’s raw, varied, and still largely undiscovered—and the kind of place that makes you want to book the trip the moment you read about it.

ARRIVAL DAY

Welcome to the Cyprus!
After your journey, take your time to settle in, and get ready for the following day.

PAPHOS - LOFOU
75km | 1500mt

First day and we head east, leaving Paphos behind as we quickly find our way onto gravel roads and into the rhythm of the tour. The coastline fades away as we turn inland, with the terrain gradually shifting from coastal roads to quiet backcountry climbs. From here the riding becomes more remote and engaging, as we start gaining elevation on a mix of gravel and small mountain roads. The landscape opens and changes continuously, with the sea now far behind us and the mountains taking over. We finish the day in the beautiful village of Lofou, a traditional hillside settlement where we stay in a characterful local hotel—an authentic and peaceful place to end the first stage of the journey.​

LOFOU - AGROS40km | 350mt
55km | 1500mt

Short ride today in terms of distance, but with plenty of climbing throughout. We rolled out with a beautiful descent from Lofou, before settling into a long, steady climb on gravel roads through the hills, with quiet landscapes and open views as the road gradually wound its way higher. The final approach to Agros came on tarmac, bringing a solid finish after a scenic and sustained effort on the bike, with another day of varied terrain and classic Cypriot mountain riding.

AGROS - KALOPANAGIOTIS
69 km | 1800mt

Today we climb the highest mountain in Cyprus: Mount Olympus situated at almost 2000mt above sea level. It’s a big day on the bike with a mix of asphalt and gravel, where most of the gravel comes on the descents—fast, flowing, and highly rewarding after the long climb. A varied and exciting route from start to finish.

KALOPANAGIOTIS - POLIS
92km | 1800mt

After an uphill start out of town, today turns into one of the most enjoyable days you can have on the bike. The descents through the forests are long, flowing, and full of twists, making them incredibly fun to ride. The scenery is equally impressive, constantly changing throughout the day. You start in the mountains and finish by the sea, moving from high-altitude forest landscapes down to the coastline in one continuous, unforgettable ride.​

POLIS - POLIS
57km / 900mt

Today’s ride starts with a steady climb on a stunning gravel road that takes us deep into a beautiful forest, followed by a series of fun, twisty descents. After reaching a village for lunch, the scenery shifts completely. The landscape opens up into rolling hills that feel very similar to Tuscany, with flowing terrain and wide views across the countryside. From there, we descend all the way down into Polis. Although it’s one of the shorter days on the bike, it delivers an impressive variety of landscapes and riding experiences from start to finish.​

POLIS - PAPHOS
68km | 1200mt

Today’s route is probably one of the most beautiful rides you will ever do if you love incredible sea views. The route is mostly gravel alongside the Mediterranean Sea, with stunning climbs and descents where every turn feels like a postcard. The riding flows along the coastline with endless views out over the water, combining fast gravel sections with punchy climbs that open up even bigger panoramas. It’s the kind of route where you find yourself stopping just to take it all in, because the scenery keeps changing with every bend in the road. A constant mix of rhythm, exposure, and beauty, this final stage brings together everything the island has offered over the week. What a perfect last day on the bike.
