Explore the Majestic Avakas Gorge Nature Trail

Getting There

• Car

  From any location in Kokkinochoria (Red Soil Villages), head west towards Paphos. Follow the signs for Paphos on the B7 road. Continue on the B7 until you reach the exit for Peyia. Turn left onto the road leading to Peyia and follow it for about 10 minutes. Once in Peyia, look for the signs directing you to Avakas Gorge. The final stretch will lead you to Avakas Gorge Rd. Continue straight until you see the entrance to the Avakas Gorge Nature Trail. Parking is available near the trailhead, but be aware that there might be a small parking fee.

• Public Transportation

  Start by taking a local bus from Kokkinochoria (Red Soil Villages) to Paphos. Look for bus routes that connect your location to Paphos Central Bus Station. Once you arrive at the Paphos Central Bus Station, transfer to a bus heading toward Peyia. After reaching Peyia, you may need to take a taxi or a local shuttle service to get directly to Avakas Gorge Nature Trail, as public transport may not go all the way to the trailhead. Depending on the bus schedules, plan for approximately 1-2 hours of travel time in total, and be mindful that bus fares will apply.

• Taxi

  For a more convenient option, consider taking a taxi from Kokkinochoria (Red Soil Villages) directly to Avakas Gorge Nature Trail. Simply call a local taxi service or use a ride-hailing app if available. Make sure to confirm the fare beforehand, as it can vary depending on the distance and time of day. Expect a travel time of about 30 minutes, with costs typically ranging from €30 to €50, depending on your exact pick-up location.
