Sports & Leisure Activities in Cyprus
Aliathon Resort Sports Groups
Running
The climate, the wide diversity of terrain, the short distances between town, country and coast make Cyprus perfect for runners. Marathons and half marathons regularly prove popular with local and international athletes, plus event organisers often offer athletes and spectators alike the chance to enjoy a spot of outdoor cultural entertainment after a race.
Due to the Aliathon Resort being located in the heart of the Paphos tourist area and close to many major and secondary roads, it makes it a perfect choice for all individual runners and running groups.
Aliathon is right on the Paphos seaside path with a total length of 24 km. The final section of the path in Paphos descends from the village of Tsada, alongside the nearby golf course, through wild gullies, towards the valley of Morounero, follows the valley and reaches the village of Episkopi (alt. 200 m). Look out for the vertical rock formation in the area. The route then follows the natural course of the river and ends up at the coast, by Paphos international airport. It follows along the coast to reach the airport, where the European Long Distance Path E4 ends (or starts). The 17 km seaside route between Aliathon Resort and the famous Coral Bay is one of the nicest running routes in the world.
