Cyprus is full of beautiful places to take a walk all year round, but a walk in winter is simply perfect. The temperature is a little cooler so you won’t get too hot and you can take your winter walks a little further and do more exploring. Walking is great exercise and you can take it at your own pace. It’s low impact and of course you can stop and relax for a moment, taking in the stunning views. If you’re recuperating after your surgery in Cyprus, regular walks will do you the world of good, speeding up your recovery. Walking is also really good for the mind. A time for quiet contemplation, or simply enjoying the company of your walking companions. If you’re feeling stressed or tense, a walk can really help to unwind your mind and ease your stresses away.
