Explore the stunning Avakas Gorge by navigating its narrow rock walls, taking in the magnificent views. Watch your step on slippery stones and be ready to navigate around large rocks as the gorge becomes more confined.

Keep an eye out for mountain goats as you trek. Springtime is ideal for a visit, as the gorge is adorned with blooming wildflowers. Conveniently located less than 15 miles from Paphos, it's an excellent day trip option.
