Hiking
Exploring Northern Cyprus on foot is one of the best ways to experience its varied landscapes — from rugged mountain ridgelines to quiet coastal paths — while getting a deeper sense of the island's history along the way.
The Kyrenia Mountains — known locally as the Five Finger Mountains — are the standout destination for hikers at Sun Valley. Trails wind through pine forest and rocky terrain, passing ancient monasteries, castles, and churches that tell the story of the island's rich cultural heritage, before opening onto summit views made for a well-earned rest.
Prefer the coast? Northern Cyprus's shoreline trails are just as rewarding, tracing the Mediterranean past secluded coves, hidden beaches and dramatic rock formations, with plenty of opportunities to spot the island's wildflowers, migratory birds and marine life.
Guided or Independent — Your Choice
Sun Valley Resort can arrange guided hikes led by knowledgeable local guides who bring the landscape and its history to life, or point you toward independent trail routes if you'd rather explore at your own pace.
