Welcome to CF BB from a reformed and polite member.

Nice place Larnaca, holidayed there many times, as near as you can get to a walkable CY city, well at least in the central area, along the Prom and the shopping streets behind there.

Limassol is better. You can walk along the beach from the old port all the way to Saint Raphael marina. 15 Kilometers of pedestrian path!

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 :D

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.

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 ;)
