October 13, 2022,Avakas-Schlucht

A spectacular hike through the narrow Avakas Gorge. We were traveling in October and therefore didn't get wet feet, but you definitely have to wear sneakers at least, no flip-flops or flip-flops. Stones sometimes slide down from above and there was even a mountain goat that fell on the way, so be careful, but otherwise fine.

The Avakas Gorge was my absolute highlight of the last 3 days in Cyprus.
Unfortunately, I couldn't go through the entire trail because I had to adapt to the majority of fellow vacationers😫
