CYPRUS offers excellent conditions for mountain biking.

Cyprus is mountain biking paradise. Excellent weather conditions almost all year round. Check the weather on Cyprus to avoid planning your mountain biking holiday during the hottest months in summer. The best months for mountain biking in Cyprus are October - April when temperatures range from 15 - 25 degrees Celsius.

Gravel and tarmac mountain cycling routes lead you into the Cyprus forests where pure air is scented with herbs and pine trees. As soon as you have reached the top of a mountain, the intense blue sea is sparkling in the distance. You can rest at a local kafeneion, visit a medieval chapel or accept seasonal fruits from Cypriots you have never met before.

Add the fact that traffic in rural areas is still very sparse and you will understand why not only holiday mountain bikers but professionals as well come to Cyprus to train for the Tour de France and other races.

Mountain biking organisations in Cyprus and most probably in your home country offer packages and tours for individual mountain bikers as well as for small groups. Click all Cyprus mountain biking organisations for their contact details.

You can also bring your own bike and ride off completely by yourself. The Cyprus Tourism Organisation CTO has free maps with mountain biking routes in most common languages.

The Cyprus Cycling Federation, member of the International Cycling Union, organises road races since 1978. The annual three-day international mountain bike competition called "Afxentia" attracts famous cyclists from all over Europe.
