The Paphos region rewards anyone willing to swap the coast road for a trail or a quiet lookout. From dramatic gorges to forested headlands, this corner of Cyprus packs in some of the island's most memorable outdoor scenery.
Start with the Avakas Gorge Nature Trail near Peyia, where sheer limestone walls close in around a shaded path, or head to the Akamas National Forest Park by Latchi for wild, undeveloped coastline. When you want the view without the hike, the Sunset/Shipwreck Viewpoint delivers a wide-open panorama, while the Adonis Baths Waterfalls near Kathikas offer a pool-side detour inland.
