Cyprus climbing road trip, 6 days
Learn or improve your rock climbing skills and explore Cyprus in this 6-day road trip together with Kyriakos, an IFMGA certified mountain guide.
Description
Join me for an exciting road trip around Cyprus and discover the best spots to enjoy rock climbing.
Lying in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea, the island of Cyprus awaits you with a stunning combination of natural beauty, ancient history and rich culture.
Due to its excellent weather, which is among the best you can find in Europe, this is an all-year-round destination. Spring and autumn are definitely the optimum time to visit the country.
Cyprus offers a varied terrain for rock climbing (more than in other areas of the Mediterranean), with many interesting routes to learn or improve your skills.
During this road trip, we can visit different climbing spots around the island and mix things up with some sightseeing.
Cyprus is a great choice for a climbing holiday and it also has a lot to offer if there are non climbing members in the trip.
In the cultural side of the journey, you will have the opportunity to see the whole island and get to know to the local tradition.
Would you like to join for a different kind of holidays? Please, get in touch with me and let me be your guide in this adventure! We will discuss your wishes and plan a route adapted to your level.
If you are totally new to rock climbing, you may want to consider this 6-day rock climbing course for beginners.
Details
Accommodation In different apartments near the climbing spots or in campsites. (I can provide tents and sleeping bags for 5 euros per person per night). |

About the guide
I am an IFMGA mountain guide living in Cyprus. I have a passion for exploring the mountains since I was child. Kyperounda, the town where I was born and raised, was my first playground, the place where I started practising different outdoor activities.
First I learnt skiing. Then, I started training and taking part in races and competitions, traveling extensively in Europe. As I am very curious, I kept trying all kinds of sports until I discovered climbing and all its exciting possibilities.
I also developed both my academic and my practical skills in the university, where I studied Outdoor Studies and Sport Science. During that time, I obtained qualifications as a Mountain Leader and a Climber.
Teaching other people is one of the things I like the most. I find a deep joy in helping others to enjoy the mountains as much as I do.
The experience of all these years as well as my technical skills, have taken me closer to my goal: becoming an IFMGA mountain guide.

Taking a rock climbing course with Kyriakos was the right choice for me. He is professional, experienced, rigorous, very serious about his teaching and pushes you beyond your limits in the best way possible. He would always answer all questions we had and took the time to help with our weaknesses and fears. By the end of the course I felt I had build a strong background on safety and very confident to lead on my own. He is an aspiring mountain guide and nature lover. I would strongly recommend him as a teacher and as a guide!

Really happy with our guided off piste tour! Kyros took us places where other people hadn’t been skiing before, which was really nice.

Kyros was excellent and professional! I had some delays getting my equipment in the morning, and he was more than flexible and capable of making sure I got what I needed. I would recommend him to anyone.

We very much appreciated Kyros’ professionalism and knowledge of the area. We’re fairly adept skiers but were not all that familiar with the mountaineering gear or protocol - Kyros was very thorough with his directions and making sure we were all safe. I had a 12 and 13 year old with me and he gave me a lot of confidence with his skills without being patronizing. ( Plus...he found us the goods!) We all had a great day. Happy to recommend him for or offer other intel.

Kyriakos was awesome! Very knowledgeable but didn’t push or feel like a lesson. If we asked a question he’d answer but we never felt like he was trying to teach. I was extremely happy with how we saw every other “group” going down more or less the same route and he brought us over to a spot that was untouched.

We found Kyriakos to be thorough, professional, even tempered and completely trustworthy. At no point did we notice unnecessary risk or exposure and Kyriakos’s professional manner shone through at all times. We would definately consider using his services again in the future.

My Son and I we\'re absolutely delighted with our day out skiing the Vallee Blanche. Our guide Kyriakos was friendly, helpful and extremely professional. We really felt that we were being looked after by one of the best. Kyriakos also shared his knowledge of the route, the mountains and he even gave us some tips to improve our skiing. An absolutely fantastic experience that we will never forget.
