The guide Konstantinos was lovely. He was passionate about his job, was very knowledgeable about the local area, very happy to answer all our questions. He took us to a waterfall, a forest, showed us various vegetation & talked about the animals there. He took us for a lovely Cypriotic lunch & let us wander in the village & see the monastery. We also went to the beach where Aphrodite came out from & saw the rock. It was a lovely day with total 8 people which was really well planned & signposted by him . Ended with wine tasting as well with beautiful views

The tour was a wonderful experience! Beautiful mountain views, charming villages, and lots of interesting history along the way. Konstantinos made the trip truly special – his knowledge, energy, and love for Cyprus really shine through. A great mix of nature, culture, and stories. And the coffee we tried in the village, prepared on hot sand, was the best we’ve had in Cyprus! Definitely worth it!
