How to get to Cyprus?

Most visitors arrive via flights into either Larnaca or Paphos. There has been a ferry service from Greece in recent years over the summer months offering alternative methods of travel, including cycling.

Can you hire bicycles?

Larnaca and Paphos both have hire shops, some of the more popular tourist spots may also offer hire bikes although this may be seasonal.

What is the weather like?

The weather is beautifully Mediterranean, warm throughout the year. The summer months (June-August) can average 30 plus degrees Celsius therefore careful planning is required to cycle at this time of year to avoid heat related illnesses. December - February tends to be the wettest and windiest months (as well as the shortest daylight hours) although there are many, many days which are glorious even in this period of the year. Leaving the rest of the year which in my experience is the comfiest conditions. However, remember storms can occur at any time; equally the days can get very hot, especially if you aren't used to the conditions.

What are the accommodation & food choices?

There is a range of accommodation available on island. From boutique spa hotels through to camping pitches with everything in-between. It all depends on your budget and the experience you want. In the high season it may be harder to book accommodation for single nights. I find booking.com the most useful way to find and book accommodation. It is worth checking with the host about bike storage. 

It's fairly obvious, but, the bigger the place, the more options will be available for dining out with broader menu options. Bakeries are available in many villages with sweet and savoury foods. Cafes and kiosks also enable food to be sourced throughout the day and evening. Many villages have restaurants with well-known as well as local dishes including some vegetarian options. As a minimum, most (but not all) villages usually have a tavern, this may be limited to a traditional set menu, embrace the experience. I have yet to starve!

Other bits and bobs to note

Like the UK, Cyprus drive (& ride) on the left hand side of the road.

The plugs used are 3 pin so no adapters required.

Cyprus is in Eastern European Standard Time, meaning it is two hours ahead of the UK year round. 

Some kiosks in more rural areas do not have consistent card payment facilities, so carrying some cash is useful for drinks and snacks.

The currency used is the euro.

In high season the tourist spots are busy and not as enjoyable to ride (in my opinion) so avoid these spots at these times for a more relaxed experience.
