Day 2: PAPHOS – CALEDONIA WATERFALLS – PAPHOS (170km – 3.5hrs by coach / 2hrs hike)
Wake up to a tasty breakfast at the hotel, and hop on the coach for your first adventure! The first stop of the day will be at Kolossi fruit plantation where you will have the chance to try some fresh lemonade and buy fruit before continuing further into the mountains to the pretty hilltop village of Platres. This is the starting point for the nature trail, which follows the bubbling Kryos Potamos stream through the verdant forest for 3km. Once you reach the Caledonia Falls, you'll be able to take a break by the shaded freshwater retreat, then keep going to the famous Psilo Dendro restaurant with its very own trout farm.

Day 3: PAPHOS – AKAMAS PENINSULA – PAPHOS (90km – 3hrs)
Start your day with an early breakfast at your hotel before being picked up for an unforgettable adventure. This trip takes you deep into the stunning Akamas Peninsula, exploring both land and sea in a rugged 4x4 vehicle—far from the usual coach experience. Your journey begins at Avakas Gorge, one of Cyprus' most breathtaking natural wonders. Enjoy a scenic half-hour walk through its dramatic limestone canyon, where towering cliffs create a strikingly narrow passage. Next, visit Lara Beach, home to a dedicated turtle conservation project that has been protecting sea turtles for decades. With the morning's exploration behind you, you'll head to Latchi Harbour to enjoy a delicious meze-style lunch by the water. Then, set sail for the Blue Lagoon, where crystal-clear waters invite you for a refreshing swim—so transparent, you’ll see your toes beneath you.

Day 4: PAPHOS: CITY TOUR
Join a professional guide for a small group tour on an electric scooter through the historic alleys and streets of Paphos. After a safety briefing and test drive of your two-wheel roller, it's time to roll out into the city in style. You'll see the former Byzantine castle and Kato Paphos Archaeological Park where the preserved mosaics and ruins are mesmerising. You'll hear stories and anecdotes about the entire historic area and there are plenty of stops for photos along the way. Afterwards, you'll glide along the romantic shoreline, and in just two hours you'll have seen so much more of this UNESCO World Heritage Site than if you'd ventured out on foot. And for complete flexibility, you can choose between a morning or afternoon tour.
Note: For security reasons the minimum weight for the electric scooter is 45kg and the maximum weight is 115kg
