I'm going away to Cyprus next year, staying near Paphos. I want to take my mtb out with me. Is it worth it? In theory there is a lot to ride there but not sure how easy it would be to find.
Talk to Paul at http://www.akamas-mountainbike-tours.com/ - he's got a fleet of well maintained Whyte T130s if you want to hire rather than take your own, and will guide you or share routes.
Great link to that provider, I go in and out of Cyprus a fair bit so may call on them to see if I can hire a bike one of the times!
Thanks for the link. I'll have a look.
Lived there for 10 years, yes it’s great for mtb’ing
like above best to get local knowledge, I had some nice 20mile loops from Paphos for a quick spin.
watch out for devil thorns, thorny things like pickup jacks. There the reason I went tubeless.
‘Don’t bother if it’s july or August taking your own bike, there is no chance you can ride days in a row, it just too hot, Best hire individual days.
Another heads up for Paul at Akamas Mountain Bike Tours, I had two guided rides with him on my holiday in Cyprus this year & they were fantastic, he really knows the area & he's as fit as 2 x butchers dogs 🙂
Top fleet of Whyte bikes & he can't do enough to make your day great, I was based at Polis in the North & he picked me up from my hotel no problem 🙂
