2. Kite Surfing on the waves off Larnaca
Kahuna Surfhouse's programs are tailored to teach and advise the beginner all aspects of kitsurfing, that is the theory, the practice, safety and helping choose the right equipment. At the same time, their school is a favourite spot on the island for intermediate and advanced riders so rentals and free riding is very welcome.

6. Sparti Platres Adventure Park
Sperti welcome you to the first rope adventure forest park in Cyprus!
This is exciting sport attraction in located in thebeautiful mountains of Pano Platres.
The name is "Sparti" because spartians created and used this specific kind of spiritual and physical training.
There are more then 80 games.
'Speed zipe-line' and 'speed free fall jump' are not to be missed

If you are looking to escape from the hot summer heat yet you are not interested in spending a day by the beach, visiting Platres would be the right choice. The monutanous location gives a cool relief from the heat of Nicosia and the mountain winds cool the atmosphere-at night it can even get chilly.
