What makes this tour unique is the fact that it would be difficult and hardly as pleasant for non-athletes to explore its natural beauty with conventional bikes. The route to Milikouri climbs from 440 to 800m through Platys River Valley which is located deep in the Paphos Forest and even most locals are unaware about it's existence. That's not a problem for the e-bikes! Our e-bikes will expand your riding possibilities without compromising the feeling and health benefits of conventional bikes. You still ride a bike but when you push the pedals of a pedal-assist e-bike, a small motor engages and gives you boost so you can zip up hills and cruise over tough terrain. You can go further, faster ...

Before we start you will receive full instructions on how to use your e-bike as well as general safety instructions.
We will ride our e-bikes to Milikouri village and back. The route to Milikouri climbs from 440 to 800m. That's not a problem for the e-bikes! They make the climb easy and pleasant, giving the opportunity to recreational cyclists and less physically active individuals, to enjoy the natural beauty and the view of this unknown part of Cyprus which would have been almost impossible to do with regular bikes.
Arriving at Milikouri, one of the most remoted and isolated villages in the heart of Paphos Forest, everything is so peacefull and quiet that you have the sense that time stopped and you are in the middle of nowhere! We will make a break here under a big plane tree at a small traditional restaurant at the center of the village.
At Platanos restaurant we will have a coffee and enjoy some traditional treats (meze) that are made by hand from materials that are produced traditionaly, from the restaurant owners and other small producers in the area. We will have some "real" halloumi, lountza, pitta, olives, fresh tomatoes, souvlaki and other delicious meze.
After we eat and get some rest (about 1 hour) we will start our return journey.
