I started in Paphos and rent a bike there. Nothing special but it was worth the price (100€ for one week). Day 1 brought me to Polis. A few mountains and finally the sea. Day 2 took me first time to the northern part. Had to avoid a village occupied by the turkish military which led me to additional 1000hm but the detour was worth it. Slept at a hippie place in the surf house in Gemikonagi. Next day was a bit difficult. Had to drive on the highway (allowed) to make it to Nicosia. The traffic was super annoying. Also Nicosia was rather meh. A few cafes and bars and that’s it. The next day I was happy to head back to the nature but the first 25km were a pain. Sooo much traffic and especially a lot of trucks due to roadworks. But the second part was amazing. Headed to Agros in the Troodos National Park. Very nice area. Unfortunately my left pedal gave up and so I was forced to ride to Limassol instead of further mountain action. Repaired the little issue and dida side quest to the beach and the british air base. Tomorrow I will leave and head to Paphos and finish the trip. To be honest I am quite ambivalent with cyprus. While the nature can be beautiful the traffic can be be quite annoying and due to the separation a detour is not always possible.
