The Cyprus Section of European Walking Route E4

Cyprus is the easternmost section of European long distance path E4, an international network of 11 long-distance walking routes running for many thousands of kilometres that starts at Gibraltar, goes through Spain, France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Greece, Crete and Cyprus.

The Cyprus section of the path goes from Larnaka airport to Pafos airport. Along the way it takes hikers through Cape Gkreko, along long stretches of rural countryside, up into the Troodos mountains and down to the Akamas region, going through areas of exceptional beauty and significant ecological, historical, cultural and scientific interest.

Too long to be tackled in one go, the route is designed primarily as a cross-country route, missing out some fine landscapes and important cultural sites but it does provide a good sample of what Cyprus has to offer.
