I was riding on-road for a couple of years and came to the park to try out off-road. I came twice to the park and both my experiences were just amazing and breathtaking. Pampos accompanied me those two times. He took time for me to introduce me to the new terrain and really challenged me as well. All in all a super friendly, cool, welcoming and beautiful place with nice people. A must do for all who are in love with motorbikes or just want to challenge themselves properly.

Highly recommended after exploring much of Cyprus - this tour covered amazing historical areas with a personable, wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide - Eva. Really have to book this tour with a guide to appreciate the history, plus you will receive a personal and private and educational wine-tasting, along with a tasty lunch. All inclusive so you won't have to worry about a thing and can enjoy the ride :)

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 ????
