The Cape Greco National Forest Park trail offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean coastline and is ideal for photographers seeking dramatic limestone cliffs and crystal-clear blue waters.

The path winds along rugged coastal cliffs, passing the famous sea caves where locals cliff-jump during summer. The route leads to a picturesque white chapel and scenic viewpoints with far-reaching views across the open sea.

The hiking experience

The area forms part of the Natura 2000 protected network, which preserves its natural beauty year-round — walk it early or late for the light, and stay back from the cliff edges.

Before you go

Good to know

Essential advice for every trail on the island.

Best season

October to May offers mild temperatures. Summer hiking requires early morning starts due to heat.

Water supply

Carry at least 2 litres per person. Natural water sources are scarce, especially in summer.

Footwear

Sturdy hiking boots with ankle support are essential for rocky terrain and mountain trails.

Sun protection

Bring sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses. The Cyprus sun is intense even in cooler months.

Navigation

Download offline maps. Mobile signal can be weak in mountain areas and on remote trails.

Layer up

Mountain weather changes quickly. Bring layers even if you start in warm conditions.
