Kyperounta Climb (from Alona)

Kyperounta sits at 1,152m in the central Troodos foothills and the climb from Alona village is one of the most consistently enjoyable ascents on the island. The road alternates between exposed terraced vineyards and shaded pine sections, with the gradient hovering between 4% and 8% throughout. The village of Kyperounta itself offers a café at the col — a rarity at altitude in Cyprus — and the views west across the Kouris reservoir valley justify the effort independently of the riding quality. The road surface is good throughout and traffic is negligible on weekdays.
