Troodos, Paphos and the Cyprus coast
Twelve days from Larnaca through Nicosia old-town hush, Troodos pine ridges and Kakopetria stone lanes, Platres cool-air belvederes, Paphos Aphrodite shore and Kato Paphos mosaics, Akamas and Latchi turquoise coves, Limassol promenade light, Lefkara lace-village hush, then salt-lake flamingos and Finikoudes evening before a soft return to the airport coast. JCC Charge and private hotel wallbox where present; the network is thinner in the Troodos and on the Akamas tip — cool battery, daylight mountain legs, unhurried coast and highland rhythm within the Republic of Cyprus south and west.
Season: Best April to June and September to November. Summer heat is strong on the coast and in Nicosia; Troodos stays cooler. Book overnight JCC Charge, private or hotel wallbox in Larnaca, Nicosia, Paphos and Limassol when you can. Charge before Troodos and Akamas hops — cool battery, daylight departure; the mountain and western tip network is thinner. Stay on Republic of Cyprus roads south and west to keep the loop simple.
