Explore Paphos Forest by E‑Mountain Bike - Book Your Ride from Old Town, Paphos
Explore the hidden natural beauty of Old Town and its surroundings on an e-bike ride that lets you tackle the dramatic climb from 440 to 800m through the little-known Platys River Valley, deep inside the Paphos Forest, and finish at the remote village of Milikouri; this route would be difficult and far less enjoyable for non-athletes on conventional bikes, but your pedal-assist e-bike expands what you can experience without sacrificing the health benefits and the authentic feeling of cycling - when you push the pedals a small motor gives you a boost so you can zip up hills and cruise over tough terrain, letting you go further, faster and with less effort so you can fully enjoy the ride and the unique landscapes around Paphos.

Summary:
We loved our circular cycle tour - it was the best thing we did in Cyprus. Pambos is a great guide. Stunning views, quiet roads, a beautiful waterfall, a medieval bridge in the forest, a quick stop for a beer and all so easy on his brand new e-bikes. A fabulous 3 hours. Can’t recommend it enough.

Summary:
This was a great tour. The guide, Pambos, was really nice and communicative from booking through to completion. The e-bikes make it a very easy ride; I have some lower back problems after an injury but was completely fine on the bike.
Covid did affect things as the restaurant for lunch was closed, but Pambos refunded money for lunch and offered cancellation and full refund if preferred.
There was a little less riding time than expected - probably about 2-2.5 hours all told then an hour or so of stops, refreshments and sightseeing.
If you're after a leisurely ride (as opposed to full-on mountain biking) and want to escape the towns, cities and beaches I'd really recommend this.
