...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.

The experience presents the traveller with two very authentic attractions in rural, semi-mountainous Cyprus. Both are highly recommended for those who want to experience the island's rich cultural heritage. The short walk next to the stream in Kakopetria adds a small natural component to the trip.

We contacted Phivos few weeks before we wanted to go on a 4- day hike in Cyprus. Phivos was very professional and kind with lots of patience to all the questions we had. He suggested a hike best fitting our nature, and the season. Prior to the hike, Phivos sent us a PDF book with all maps and information we needed, as well as each day trail navigation to use in GPS app (we used MPSME application that works offline with kml files and recommend this as well). The ground services included a zimmer/hotel with breakfast and dinner for each of the hike days, a transfer of our luggage from one place to the other, and a pick from Larnaca on the first day and on last day to the airport. Phivos picked us from Larnaca on the first day and took us to the starting point of the hike. During the 2hr drive Phivos told us many things about Cyprus society, history, geography, and nature, and answered last minute questions we had regarding the hike, as well as many questions we had regarding Cyprus. He also helped us deciding where to start the hike of the first day (changes were needed due to the weather and updated time of arrival). It was a reall pleasure to meet him personally and enjoy his vast knowledge and kindness!!! The 4-days hike in Cyprus countryside was perfect!!! It was the best combination of culture, agriculture and nature landscapes in the perfect season. We walked ~20 km a day in lovely landscapes and lovely views, every day starting from a different village after a nice breakfast, and finishing in the next village with zimmer/hotel and a nice dinner. The food was good (one of us is vegan) and the places we stayed in were pleasent and clean. We highly recommend Cyprus Walks Etc. and especially Phivos for anyone interested in self guided treaks in Cyprus!!! We had a wonderful time -Thank you Phivos!!!! Total and Efrat, Israel

Combine a sightseeing experience with shopping at the Capital of Cyprus - Nicosia! On this tour you get a short guided drive around the town center and after that you have 4 whole hours free time to explore the town. Spend time in the Walled Old Town Centre, within the Venetial Walls, wander in Laiki Yitonia with it's narrow streets, handicraft shops, traditional restaurants and coffee shops. Enough time is given to cross the line (also known as the "Green Line") that divides the Capital of Cyprus into the southern Greek Cypriot region and the northern Turkish Cypriot region since the Turkish invasion of 1974.

Inclusions: Professional guide, Hotel pick-up and drop-off, Air-conditioned vehicle

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 ????
