Point-to-point distances

The Sea-to-Sky route has been broken down into 15 smaller sections below to help you plan your journey. These  sections are designed to finish at convenient pick-up or drop-off points, or at villages or picnic areas where there is likely to be accommodation available nearby: either hotels, Airbnbs or camping.  E-mail us at cyprustrailrunners@yahoo.com if you would like the GPX track and the KML file sent to you.

Your adventure, your way - how we can help

We can help with planning your trip depending on your needs: the whole route, part of it, with friends, solo, running, hiking, hotel stays or camping - however you would like to do it. Free advice and provision of GPX and KML. Drop offs and pickups with luggage transfers are also possible by arrangement -- the cost will depend on numbers and the section being done. Contact us for information.

How to find your way

The Sea-to-Sky route has been marked out with blue dots and blue arrows with a white S for most of the way. On recognised public hiking trails no additional markings have been added once you have been turned onto the trail. For some sections, you will follow the yellow and black E4 trail markings, but beware, you will turn off the E4 again so make sure you know when to do so. We recommend following the GPX track to be sure, and studying the KML file which has route details including where to find water fountains, picnic sites and restaurants along the way.

The Sea-to-Sky Cyprus trail came into being in 2021 as a challenging 135km trail running race organised by Cyprus Trail Runners, starting on the beach at Alaminos on the south coast and finishing in the Troodos mountains. It is now no longer a race, but this beautiful route can still be experienced by trail runners or hikers: over one day, several days, one week, or two weeks, as you prefer. Fast or slow, supported or unsupported, camping or comfort, do the whole route or just a section.
Your adventure, your distance, your pace, your way.
