Cyprus was cut short by three hours because there was some additional traffic and convoys going through Suez Canal. It was a public holiday in Cyprus and felt like it when we arrived off the boat. Cyprus had the most disappointing ports of all the stops because it was very isolated from any sort of place (via beach, town, mountain, etc). We decided to make the most of the day and opted to find a beach! Cyprus is known for their alternative water sports such as wind surfing and kite surfing. There was a light breeze as we started the hike for the beach and certainly could see why the sports were so popular :)
The small bit we hiked, which turned out to be near 8 miles total, was beautiful. Cyprus seems like a place where you could easily spend a week. Mountains are visible while looking for sea shells on the beach front and it has a lot of natural geography that looks like could easily be explored!
The hike ended at a restaurant along the water with some white wine, which Cyprus is known for, and tzatziki. Tzitki is a yogurt based spread flavored with garlic and cucumbers flavored with mint and this was the fuel needed to reenergize for the walk home in the heat!
