Where to practice an individual sport Cyprus

The second golf course in Cyprus, opened in 1996, Secret Valley Golf Club is considered the most beautiful course on the island of Cyprus, well designed and with a permanent view of the sea. It has all the facilities of a major international course. As part of the creation of the adjoining new 18-hole course, former US Open champion Tony Jacklin's company, The Jacklin Design Group, is working to redesign the existing course and integrate it into the huge Venus Rock Resort project.

This association offers guided running tours of Nicosia. You need to sign up by email, on Instagram or on Facebook. Different slots are then offered to join a small group according to a theme: heritage, gastronomy, arts, etc. In collaboration with the Runite association (Greek and Turkish Cypriot runners campaigning for the reunification of the island), a complete tour of the Venetian fortifications is proposed (14 km).

This cycling club offers racing bikes and mountain bikes for hire. It also organizes tailor-made excursions. Among the most popular tours is "L'Étape Cyprus": a 137 km loop mapped out by the Tour de France company between the Troodos massif and Aphrodite's Rock. The club houses a store, a repair shop, a training room and a café where you can meet with cycling specialists. There's plenty of useful advice to be gleaned before setting off on the island's roads and trails.

This golf course, the second in the country, inaugurated in 2002, is located not far from Aphrodite Rock, 20 km east of Paphos. It is open to individuals to practice or to learn. Surrounded by carob and olive trees, the course overlooks the sea on almost every hole, especially hole 7, which is famous among European golfers. This land requires one million litres of water per year, more than the consumption of all the inhabitants of the district of Paphos.

This amusement park features three acrobatic courses. The first, for children aged 2 and over, includes sections at a height of 1 metre. The second rises to a height of 3 metres and includes a small zip line. And the third, for teenagers and adults, goes up to 7 meters with a longer zip line. It's less expensive than the Sparti Rope Park in Platres, safety equipment is provided (helmet, harness) and the staff are quite attentive. Also on site: picnic area and quad bikes for hire.

This road bike circuit was created in 2022 by Amaury Sport Organisation, the company that manages the Tour de France. It's a 137 km loop with 3,000 m of ascent between the village of Dora/Δωρά, in the Troodos massif, at an altitude of 450 m, and Aphrodite Rock, on the coast. The start is from Kouklia and the finish at the Aphrodite Hills complex. Several specialized cycling agencies offer the experience. Alternatively, "L'Étape Cyprus" hosts a race every year on the second Sunday in November.
