Road cycling camp in Cyprus with your private room.
Seven road-riding days with carefully chosen routes. We’ll ride up the Mount Olympus & the Cross Mountain; visit the Aphrodite’s Rock, the White Stones and more.
Here’re some photos from another DBB camp:
There’re two groups: easy, riding 62 km ↑ 870 m elevation a day on average (guided by Eugenia), and long — 97 km | 1810 m agv (guided by Alex & a local guide).

I’ll travel to the camp under my Schengen visa — but it is not mandatory. There’re national visas in Cyprus which are easier to obtain if you have a passport that doesn’t allow for a visa-free entry.
Every cyclist gets both her own bedroom and a separate bathroom in our spacious camp house. There is a large terrace for us all, and cozy balconies in the rooms.
Registration includes eight nights in a private room with queen-size bed, a welcome dinner, and cleaning services.

Get in touch with us via the form below. When the number of the interested will reach the amount of slots, we’ll suggest that everyone makes a prepayment to secure their slot. The full payment is due one month before the camp date.
Some of our tours & camps have discounts that are announced and applied in any qualifying case — whether you mention it or not when booking. This particular event has a discount of 100 € for all female cyclists.
There’re joint expenses, consisting mainly of food and beverages, that are added together and then smartly split between the camp participants — everything is calculated automatically by an app, so there is no hassle.
For breakfast and dinner we can prepare something at the camp kitchen, order delivery, or go out — there are some restaurants near to the camp house. Lunch is usually amid the ride at a cafe.
We suggest a road bike or a gravel bike with not-too-slow tyres (you could ask in the camp chat). There are no gravel sections so a rim-brake road bike is totally acceptable to enjoy this camp in full.
Yes, there are some road bikes for rent, or we could try and source a fitting gravel bike for you if you prefer that — in any case, you do not necessarily have to bring your own bike, and we can help you find one near the camp.
Women always stay in spaces physically separated from men in our tours — except for those coming as pairs, of course. Depending on the demand, we will try and offer you a discount in an attempt to support female cycling.
If you’ve ever ridden 100+ kilometers a day, you should be fine. The routes are designed in a way that allows for skipping some portions if one gets too tired — so there is even no need for a support car at this particular camp.
Sure, our camp is all about enjoying yourself in a company of nice people. If you need some time to rest or do your own stuff, you’re of course free to stay at the camp or ride on your schedule.
April is not the hottest month in Cyprus, so riding is comfortable. When we’re up in the mountains, you may even want to wear something warmer than a summer jersey. Water is usually somewhat cool at that time of year.
At the camp we’ll have the usual bike maintenance tools and products. However, you should have what fits you and your bike individually. In the camp chat there will sure be exhaustive information on all that.
Limassol is located in about one hour drive from Nicosia, Larnaca, or Pafos airports — so you could choose any of the three for your flight. The information on airport transfers is provided in the camp chat.
That’s a frequent question, and we’re ready to advise in the camp chat in detail. You can be sure that bringing a bike with you is not that difficult and doesn’t require significant additional expenses — the rest are details.

In a group, not wearing a helmet puts extra liability on others in case the non-wearer gets a head injury — whether through one’s own fault or somebody else’s.
Thus, wearing a helmet is a matter of baseline respect for the others, even though you’re not going to crash.
Come on a road or gravel bike
The narrow handlebars let us ride closer to each other — two abreast and when overtaking. This leaves more space for maneuvers.
Moreover, road bars don’t tend to get caught on each other. And in case of a crash the rear-facing bar ends are less likely to cause injuries.
Please don’t ride any of these in the group: • time-trial, triathlon bikes, or with clip-on bars, • flat-bar or other bikes with wide handlebars, • fixed-gear bikes without at least a front brake, • bikes with malfunctions (e.g. a failed brake).
