Mountain Bike Hire in Kalavasos – Matthias Bike Corner Cyprus

Looking for mountain bike hire in Kalavasos? Matthias Bike Corner Cyprus is a small, owner-run bike rental and tour business in the village of Kalavasos, between Larnaca and Limassol, offering mountain bikes and road bikes together with personally guided rides into the surrounding hills. It is a handy option if you are staying on the south coast and want a well-set-up bike plus someone who knows the local routes.

The business is run by Matthias Czakay, who first came to Cyprus on a cycling holiday in 2015, returned again and again, and founded the bike corner in 2021. He looks after rentals and bike set-up, guiding, trip planning and service himself, and brings in local partners and guides for larger groups, events or multi-day tours. The website is available in German and English.

The riding around Kalavasos

• Kalavasos and Tochni hills – farm tracks, mule paths and singletrack through the low hills behind the south coast.
• Lefkara area – rolling limestone country and traditional villages a short ride inland.
• Troodos Mountains – signposted MTB circuits of up to 67 km in the island’s green, forested interior, reachable by car or shuttle.

When to ride

The business does not publish fixed season dates, and appointments can be arranged at any time. Conditions, terrain and vegetation change through the year, so Matthias recommends a quick chat before a tour to pick the right route; in general, autumn, winter and spring are the most comfortable months for riding the coastal hills, while high summer is very hot.

Getting to Kalavasos

Kalavasos sits just off the A1 motorway, about 35 minutes’ drive from Larnaca International Airport and about 30 minutes from Limassol, which makes it a convenient base between the two. Paphos Airport is about 1 hour 15 minutes away. Bike delivery can be arranged if you are staying nearby.

Tips for your ride

• Reserve your bike online in advance and give your height so the right frame size is ready.
• Talk through your level before a guided tour – routes range from easy gravel to loose, technical sections.
• Download the Komoot routes before you go if you plan to ride unguided.
• Book mountain bike hire in Kalavasos early in a riding week so there is time to add a guided day once you know the bike.
