Just a tip: don't drink too much during the raceโฆ ๐ But don't worry too much, you'll be too busy being awestruck by the scenery around you. And as if the Mediterranean Sea ๐ isn't enough, the routes will also take you through authentic villages on the island. You'll see mountain areas and the lands that cover it โฐ๏ธ. In March in Cyprus, temperatures range between 8ยฐC and 18ยฐC ๐ก๏ธ. Perfect for enjoying the coast โ๏ธ, and also for getting your legs moving on one of the distances! ๐ฆต
Did you know the marathon starts, according to myth, at the place where the goddess Aphrodite was born? ๐งโโ๏ธ Legend even says that if you swim at midnight near the cliffs of Pรฉtra Tou Romiou, you'll experience eternal love (since Aphrodite is the goddess of love)! ๐ Of course, that's just a legend. Our mission is to get you signed up for the Cyprus Marathon and ensure you have an unforgettable experience. Finding true love is just a bonus! ๐ Oh, you're laughing now, but we'll see after you try! ๐ช The courses are along the coast. We can already imagine you breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the flat course! ๐โโ๏ธ And if you see planes flying overhead, it's not your private jet coming to your rescue... You're just near one of the three airports in Cyprus ๐ฌ.
During your stay, you'll have the chance to visit some amazing places! ๐๏ธ Among our favorites are Paphos Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the medieval castle ๐ฟ, the Agios Neophytos Monastery, and of course, the bay where Aphrodite was born! With all this, you can also enjoy the stunning scenery of the beaches and blue waters. After your marathon, you'll have only one desire: to take a dip! ๐โโ๏ธ
