Getting there

Car

From Avakas Gorge, head east on the main road. Continue for approximately 5 km until you reach the T-junction near the village of Peyia. Turn left onto the road towards Akamas Peninsula. Follow this road for about 8 km. You will find signs directing you to various points of interest in the Akamas region. Ensure your vehicle is suitable for off-road conditions, as some paths may be rugged.

Public Transportation

If you're using public transport, take a bus from the nearby town of Peyia to Akamas. First, walk from Avakas Gorge to Peyia, which is about 5 km (approximately 1 hour on foot). From Peyia, catch the bus that is headed towards Akamas Peninsula. The bus schedule may be limited, so check the local timetable ahead of time.

Hiking

For the adventurous, you can hike from Avakas Gorge to Akamas Peninsula. Begin at the gorge and follow the marked trails that lead towards the peninsula. This might take several hours (approximately 3-4 hours of hiking), so ensure you are well-prepared with water and snacks. The trails may vary in difficulty, so check the local hiking maps before you set out. This option is free of cost, but make sure to wear appropriate footwear.

Taxi

If you prefer a more direct route without the hassle of public transport, consider taking a taxi from Avakas Gorge to Akamas. This will provide a convenient and comfortable journey, with prices varying based on distance. Expect to pay around €30-€50 for a one-way trip. Make sure to agree on the fare beforehand or use a ride-hailing app if available.
