Hi all - looking for tips for a 4 day bikepacking trip to cyprus.
Going off road with a hard tail 29er, wondering if anyone has some good routes? and tips on free camping?

Many thanks!

At the Polis campsite in NW Cyprus at the moment. This map is good for the municipal campsites. The official picnic sites are fine for a low key overnight camp and seem to have toilets and water - they are deserted at the moment. Yellow roads on the map are unsurfaced but seems some are now tarmaced since then.

Also Akamas peninsula would seem fine for a quiet overnight - I mean there were two guys with a 4x4, table, umbrella so seems no one is really bothered. Also says no hunting but shotgun shells all over and two hunters gave me a lift to the top of the ridge in their pickup.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
