The many charms of Cyprus make it a fantastic destination for hikers – the rugged terrain under glorious sunshine just beckons to be explored.

Day 4 – Explore Akamas Peninsula – Buggies and Quad Bikes Expedition
Our Drakos uniformed guide/escort and driver will meet the guests at the lobby of the hotel to accompany them for their activity of the day – quads/buggies in Akamas! Bring your camera and swimsuit for a full day adventure to Cyprus’ crown jewel, the Akamas Peninsula. Akamas is a natural reserve area boasting unique and diverse flora and fauna surrounded by the warm Mediterranean Sea. We aim to discover this special region with the least impact on the environment and ensure that you take away an insight into its beautiful scenery, crystal clear waters, Cyprus’ culture and rural life. Transfers and drop off are arranged at the Coral Bay, where we collect the quad bikes and buggies for a 3-hour ride. We quickly leave the bustle of the tourist centre of Paphos, and delve the rural countryside. We start by visiting the sea caves and St. George’s archaeological site. A day in Akamas would be incomplete without a swimming stop at Lara Bay, an important breeding ground of the protected Mediterranean Loggerhead Turtle.
