...and in case you are incarcerated by the TRNC Ministry in a cell on the construction site on the pretext of keeping you under quarantine, you can have incessant welding and drilling, bedding wreaked with smoke and everything else you are keen on as your idea of 10-day healthy stay in Nicosia quarters. I can't believe this is happening and it is all on the mandatory pre-paid quarantine package organized by the Ministry of Health.

Fantastic day out, the tour guide was so informative and told us information about the history of the island and info on each stop in between so the drive to each destination was not boring. It did not stick exactly to the itinerary but we did not mind as it was all so interesting and we still visited places we would have missed if we did not do the tour. Highly recommend.

We visited the zoo the other day, it has most animals you could think off, they seemed well kept for the most part, a zookeeper mark allowed us to get a once in a lifetime photo with a giraffe, and you could tell he cared deeply about the animals, thought it was a great day out. We did think the monkey enclosures could be bigger and were a little on the small side, again with the birds and the ostriches. But other than that, the majority of the animals seemed to have big time enclosures and plenty of space to roam. And they are all rescue animals from what I understood, so have deffo got a better quality of life. I wouldn’t eat there though we went to the cafe which had run out of hand sanitiser when we entered, so we informed the staff, but then when we left it still hadn’t been refilled which during corona times is quite irresponsible. But if you like going to the zoo, take your own lunch and hand sanitiser and you will have a good day out ????

The jeep ride was a bit too fast for my liking, especially on the winding mountain dirt roads. We enjoyed the natural reserves and the beautiful natural views though. It would have been nice to get more info on the places we were visiting, but maybe there wasn't much to them apart from the pretty views. The boat cruise was ok, lots of passangers, an hour to the Blue Lagoon, and hour there and an hour back. The Blue Lagoon itself was a bay full of other ships like ours, I thought it was going to be a little more quaint. Overall it was alright, always an experience and new sights seen.

Never Turkey or Cyprus again. The surly and arrogant nature of Turkish people only surpassed by their greed.

We booked this trip through TUI as it was promoted by them. As we were staying in Paphos we wanted to see more of the island. The destinations in the Troodos were varied and the lunch was excellent. However, whoever is promoting the trip should make everyone aware that the majority of the time is spent on the minibus (very good driver) and whilst many of the views of the mountains are wonderful, the route is very twisty and mountainous. Whoever is promoting the trip should also make people aware that those who suffer from travel sickness may want to consider whether it is for them.
