Exo Apidi is a small, remote village in a mountainous, agricultural region dominated by olive groves and Mediterranean vegetation. The surrounding area is ideal for hiking and nature exploration. Near Exo Apidi begins the Apidi Gorge, which is characterized by impressive limestone formations and narrow passages. The gorge is technically demanding and requires appropriate equipment for the descent. It ends in the deserted village of Samakidi and continues to the coast as the Ammoudoselia or Goudouras gorge. The region around Exo Apidi has a rich history that dates back to ancient times. Ancient cities such as Lenika, Keratos, Erythrai and Stilai, which were known for the production of the valuable purple dye Porphyra, once existed in the area. The villagers resisted during the Turkish occupation and helped British and Cypriot refugees during World War II. The mountainous landscape offered ideal conditions for resistance against the occupying powers. Exo Apidi is accessible via narrow, paved roads that branch off the main road between Zakros and Palekastro. The infrastructure is simple, there are no tourist facilities such as taverns or shops. The isolation makes the place ideal for visitors looking for peace and authentic country life.
