Picture yourself walking beneath the rugged Besparmak Mountains with the sapphire Mediterranean Sea as your constant companion—this is the essence of the Walking in Northern Cyprus tour. Over eight days, this expertly guided group trip introduces experienced travelers to the region’s scenic beauty, from flower-draped mountain trails and remote Crusader castles to the tranquil charm of villages like Bellapais and Lapta. Savor Mediterranean cuisine, including homemade halloumi and fresh mezes, and immerse yourself in the island’s rich biodiversity, with over 1,200 plant species and an ever-changing array of migratory birds. Explore historic sites such as the 12th-century Bellapais Abbey and enjoy spectacular vistas from Buffavento Castle, one of Cyprus’s hidden gems. The tour’s unique appeal lies in its blend of natural wonders, cultural heritage, and culinary delights, creating a walking holiday that’s as enriching as it is relaxing.

The itinerary needs to be more varied. It included walks to 3 mountaintop castles ruins and mostly in similar landscapes, but omitted Nicosia, Salamis and Famagusta. While the latter was an optional day trip on the free day, if Salamis and Famagusta were included in one of the walking days, then the free day could have included transport to and from Nicosia. There would then have been the opportunity to see the green zone; possibly use the pedestrian border crossing to go to the Cyprus side and learn more about what makes the Island of Cyprus so unique.
Great trip with a very full itinerary I travelled solo and felt very welcome and part of a team Very thoughtful guide who helped with everything, nothing too much trouble Highly recommend
Nice trip just wish that we had gone in April rather than May as we missed the Spring flowers. Simple trip made much more interesting with the balanced social political insights from our tour guide.
Slightly late on the season for wild flowers and the heat was building as we headed into summer. Leader did a brilliant job of changing itinerary to reflect this.
Great trip because our guide was simply awesome: he vastly improved the itinerary, was incredibly knowledgeable, as well as being fun to be with
