Detailed itinerary
1
The tour starts by your arrival (or hotel pick up) 30 minutes before departure at our main shop in Poseidonos Avenue situated in Aliathon Complex.
At the shop you will get to meet your guiders who will provide you with the necessary equipment (i.e. Goggles) and also instructions on how to operate your selected vehicle (Quad or Buggy) with safety.
2
Few minutes after your departure you will drive through Geroskipou municipal beach also known as Riccos beach. Here you will be already accustomed to driving your vehicle and you will get the first taste of the beautiful coastal scenery off road tracks.
3
Throughout the tour you get to drive through agricultural off-road fields and at moments, right next to the mesmerizing sea until the first stop for a break which is at Mandria village beach.
There you can get your time to stretch and prepared yourself for the second half which involves driving at higher grounds. You can also purchase a refreshing drink and enjoy a cold drink at the local beach bar!
4
After driving through Mandria beach you will visit Asprokremmos Dam situated just on the outskirts of Paphos at a higher altitude.
The Dam is the second bigger in Cyprus and at times during the dry period the reservoirs are at a concerning low level for the locals!
5
The second half of the tour is a well-combined contrast from the coastal scenery to the mountainous as the tour course heads north towards higher grounds.
Prepare for excitement as you will drive through twisting mountain tracks and a semi-dry river until reaching a graphical village distinct by a huge rocky cliff. That is the area of Nata and Episkopi villages. Authentic Cypriot villages with traditional stoned houses, narrow streets and a magnificent peaceful views.
At the village you will have the chance to visit a local kafenio (Greek for coffee house) and taste an energizing Cyprus coffee or soft drink along with the hospitality of the owner.
The way back involves a smooth road trip back to the starting point.
