Well if we're having a "whose the better walker" competition then i say: i walk along the dekalia road beach area and regularly walk right right from the beginning of the beach at Larnaca end up to the fenced off point at the base.

Thats 14km there and back... beat that! :p hehe

Christos je Panayia! ... that must, in the main, be the most unattractive, noisiest, most air polluted road in the whole of CY (imho).

I've done about half of it in one go But just because its there it doesn't mean you have to walk the whole distance. You can just walk at some parts and change the part you walk each time ... so you have variety

There's also a nice path along the Pediaios river in suburban Nicosia. It must be around 10km after the expansion.

... and just who in their right mind for nine months of the year would want to walk along a dry river, in the baking hot CY interior, in 40 degrees of heat other than mad dogs and ...oh... sort of me....(!!!)

... can't beat a short evening stroll of 1km along Phinikouthes in Larnaca.

There's also the Troodos mountain trails option.

If you are that crazy and like exercise think about joing the Hash House Harriers who are as pleasant a bunch of loonies you could ever hope to meet: there are a number of hashes all over Island , with Amathus, Dehkalia, Episkopi, Happy Valley, Kition, Larnaca , Nicisosia,and Polygon (and the Pan-Selenos).

"If you have a half a mind to go hashing ,,,, that is all you need!"

With the hash you can run, jog walk, stagger for about an hour or so and then enjoy liquid refereshement: each of the hashes has a slightly differnt ethos, in particular in the post-hash get together which range from a civilised drink and chat at Epi leading through to a full blown circle where "wanker'" is term of affection and the mickey can otherwise be unmercifally extracted.
