Scenic Walks
Over this enjoyable week you'll embark on a series of walks following deserted forest tracks, heavy with the scent of herbs. You'll see beautiful wild flowers at almost any time of year, although spring is the best time to enjoy Cyprus's famous orchids. Stunning mountain views, villages surrounded by olive groves and dazzling vistas of beach and sea all add to the charm.
8 Days
Special inclusion:
Cooking Lesson
You'll spend an enjoyable afternoon at a local house learning to cook in traditional Cypriot style. After you have made your delicious meal you'll have a tasting panel to sample your creation.
Ancient History
Cyprus has witnessed many invaders over the years and consequently has many castles. Your walks take you to the dramatic cliff-top ruins of St. Hilarion's and Kantara, while Bellapais Abbey makes an interesting stop with its famous `Tree of Idleness'. You explore each at leisure and learn how the island's history has been shaped.
Comfort Level
If you enjoy walking in the UK you'll enjoy this holiday. It is graded `moderate' and takes you on scenic country tracks that are occasionally steep and uneven. A walk of approximately 12 km is planned on most days, though it's possible to opt out if you wish to.
