Hiking in Cyprus. Avakas gorge in Akamas national park
On this video we are going to Akamas, one of the best places in Cyprus to walk the natural trail of Avakas gorge. Let's explore it, enjoy this enchanting nature landscape up close and see what makes it so special.
We will try to cross the path to enter the gorge. It is considered a difficult route because we have to pass over slippery rocks that block the road, between dense vegetation, the stream, narrow steep passages and under large boulders.
As for the phones they have neither signal nor internet here.
The gorge of Avakas is a true masterpiece of nature. It is the most famous and impressive gorge of Cyprus.
It is located in the district of Paphos, at the entrance of Akamas National Park, on the side of the village of Pegeia. A very popular hiking destination, with a route of 3 km and an accessible path up to halfway. The rest is for the more adventurous.
It has a history of millions of years, from the time when the region began to emerge from the sea. With rocks that rise from 30 to 100 meters above your head in the narrow ravines.
We want to see the water that falls in the gorge from above. I hope we manage to get to this point because rock landslides are a common phenomenon here!
An oasis of beauty, relaxation and coolness. An environment that gives you the feeling of absolute calm and serenity. After all, this is the meaning of the word Avakas in ancient Greek.
The wide variety of colors and the wonderful scents of flowers and wet soil are intoxicating. In this mythical habitat live foxes, hares, frogs, snakes, eels as well as a wide variety of rare species of birds. A paradise for nature lovers and fanatics!
If you are lucky you may also encounter the majestic vulture which is now a protected species. #Cyprus #Hiking #Akamas #BestPlacesinCyprus
