If you’re visiting Cyprus<\/strong><\/a> and are in the mood for a bit of a hike, Avakas Gorge is a great option to enjoy the great outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avakas Gorge has been on my mind for a while, but not knowing what to expect, how difficult is the terrain, and how much wildlife<\/span> will I encounter, I put it off all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I wanted to venture there last summer, my Greek teacher warned me that that’s the snake breeding season. I don’t mind snakes, but I certainly don’t want to witness them in the heat of their passion as an unwanted spectator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The middle of the summer is probably not a good option to do any kind of hiking, especially with the heat that Cyprus experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Armed with enough information, and a buddy for a companion, we set off to explore Avakas Gorge on one of the cooler days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m happy to report I survived, and no snakes were spotted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
