At 6,500 feet above sea level, the tip of Troodos gives amazing 360o views of the whole island. If you fancy a change from hitting the beach after the heat of the summer, exploring the mountains of Cyprus by foot is something we can’t recommend enough. The vast forests and Mediterranean views are really striking, and gives you a completely different perspective of this beautiful island. MyCyprusInsider has just blogged ‘5 Totally Different Walks to Get Your Heart Racing‘, outlining some of the best walks in Troodos. We suggest you locate a little mountain taverna to refuel on yummy local cuisine after your adventures – there are some real gems out there! So…get your walking boots on! READ WALKING BLOG HERE.

Aphrodite Hills Resort has a great selection of restaurants located in the resort village square, but we always recommend exploring a little further afield to nearby villages for a real, local culinary experience. Kouklia village and Pissouri village are just a 10 minute drive from the Resort and both of these picturesque villages host a great selection of restaurants that offer wonderful Cypriot holiday dining options. Local home cooked cuisine, in a traditional Cypriot setting, from back-to-basics to fine-dining, you really are spoilt for choice in these little local gems!
