Cyprus Eco Tours

With a small group of 8 and an excellent leader in Mehmet, we were guaranteed a good holiday. Mehmet was so enthusiastic about his country, its people and wildlife. We learnt so much about the local flora and fauna. Walks were great, especially the castle visits. For me the reservoir walk was the only disappointment. Though the views were interesting, the tracks were tedious and uninspiring. Loved the 2 beach visits, and also the opportunity to sample the home produced goods. The visit to Varosha should not be missed.

The Cyprus holiday was excellent. The leader was very well informed, a pleasure to be with and bonded with the group, who were also a great bunch. The weather was unseasonably cold the first few days and the hotel was a bit cold, although at least the weather was dry with some sun improving to lovely sun by the end of the week. The leader packed in lots to see, and slightly more relaxation time would have been welcomed by me.

In spite of the unexpectedly cold weather in late February, I had a great week walking in Northern Cyprus. The walks were varied & interesting. Mehmet was a fantastic guide & couldn’t do enough for us all. His enthusiasm for people, nature & life in general was infectious & our group bonded well under his care. I hope to return a week or so later one year to find the elusive Cyprus tulip 😊

Our guide was excellent, very informative, polite and always helpful. He told us all about the history, everything of the plants on our way. He made us feel being at home and very welcomed. Every walk revealed something new. It was very interesting. Our lunches were delicious. I got a very good impression of Cyprus

Very pleased I booked this for our Christmas break. Lovely (without being too challenging) walking, great castles and a very comfortable hotel. Our guide was knowledgeable, helpful and mindful of all of our requirements/demands. Glad we went in winter, I think the walking would be very hot in the summer. But then again the outdoor pool would then have come into its own. (We used the heated indoor pool in December) I would highly recommend this walking holiday.

This tour was a great balance of walking and culture. Beautiful walks, well organised by our guide, with amazing castles to explore. Cyprus has such a long, rich and complex history, and the included and optional visits allowed us to get a real sense of that. It was a nice change to be based in one place. We stayed in The Ship Inn which is outside the town centre but with a few shops and cafes nearby, including a supermarket. The indoor pool was lovely for post walking - there is also an outdoor pool but we were there in January. The staff were attentive and helpful. As vegetarians, we were wary of set meals but pleasantly surprised by the quality of the vegetarian option on the evening meal outings. As a guide, Engin really knows his stuff - very informative and looked after everybody really well. I'd recommend the optional Hamman trip as a great end to a walking week.
