HIKING
Hiking is taking a walk in the outdoors for recreational purposes; this could be on a trail, or off a trail. All over Cyprus, there are several predefined trails maintained by the Forest Department. They range from short and easy trails to long and difficult. We will introduce you to the natural beauty and culture of the island; you can follow the beautiful coastlines with turquoise Mediterranean waters, go through magnificent forests and visit picturesque villages.
How we do it:
We normally start our hike first thing in the morning; however, this often depends on the morphology as well as the area of the trail. We would either gather at a meeting point where we would drive to the start of the trail or we would meet directly at the start point. Transportation is available upon request.
Before we start our hike you will be briefed about the details of our excursion and will be taken through all the safety guidelines, our teams are all highly experienced and will help to answer any questions you might have.

We will provide you with water and snacks during the hike to keep you going (such as nuts, biscuits and energy bars), and after finishing our hike we can arrange lunch at a local restaurant if preferred.
You only need to be equipped with suitable clothing and footwear depending on the season we are hiking. We also recommend having a hat, sunglasses, walking sticks and extra clothing, especially during winter. A more detailed list of equipment can be provided upon request.
