I have a dream to cycle right round the coastline of Cyprus.

Does anyone know the distance?

Also what practical measures should I take . . . e.g. any authorities to notify? . . . permits to be sought? etc.

According to...

https://www.cia.gov/library/publication ... os/cy.html

...the coastline is 648km long but of course that will translate into a much smaller distance if you stick to the roads; you'll be saving heaps of kilometers by avoiding Akamas altogether.

Good luck...

That's a really useful source Get Real! . . . I'll print it.

I'm afraid the Akamas will be my highlight . . . and I intend taking it extra slow, exploring every cove!

Phoenix let me know when you plan to do this I will join you. May be GR can assist by meeting us at Akamas with a couple of mountain bikes

I was thinking of next April. But that's dependant on establishing a safe route.

Would you like to do the whole coastline too or just sections?

or a fun threesome depends how you look at it GR

Phoenix I wouldn't mind doing the whole Island, via coastal routes. Do you know Cyprus' 648 km coastline is half the distance betten Sydney and Adelaide just thta alone is enough to encourage anyone to do it. Wil the Turks allow us though to cross through if there are no check points. For example around the Varosha area and then over near Akamas (Kato Pyrgos).

A more serious problem is land mines in the green line...

. . . or as many as wish to join us along the way . . TCs included (if they behave!).

Your points regarding going through the occupied sections are what I want to sort out. Maybe someone has some information on this.

Kato Pyrgos is the last point before Kokkina right?

Would we have to cycle around the periphery of Kokkina? (quite hilly) . . but lovely.

dunno about bad GR but definetely fun


Phoenix I am not sure, I ave not lived in Cyprus for a very long long long time, and google earth does not always recognise all names. I can't even find Mesa Yitonia in Lemesos/ Limassol.
