With the bike route planner, you can find and create the best cycling routes on Cyprus: Although the island is geographically Asian, it’s an EU-member and culturally and politically belongs to Europe. The country has been divided in North and South since 1974, whereby the North is controlled by Turkey and the South belongs to the Republic of Cyprus. The mediterranean climate allows long bike tours all year round, and rides along the coast or on the highest mountain, the Olympus, are a real highlight.
