Cyprus Tours in March 2026

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

Excellent guide, Gizer. Excellent driver, Ermer (spelling?). Eleven other interesting (not a euphemism) customers. Good walks, two reminded me of previous grade 3/4 but it's subjective, to some extent. Good weather. Ten out of ten.

Great holiday! Tour lead Mehmet was a great ambassador for Cyprus and full of knowledge and enthusiasm for the flora and fauna. The walks were wonderful with castles, villages, flowers everywhere including masses of different types of orchids. The views were stunning with mountain ranges, beaches and turquoise reservoir. We visited some welcoming homes to eat and drink local specialities. The staff in the hotel were great (especially the other Mehmet in the bar) but it was really cold at the start of the week, disappointing the pools were closed and was a bit overwhelming when a large tour bus came in for a few days. The organisation and itinerary all went smoothly from airport transfers, interesting and varied activities and getting us around during the week. Great crowd of people to spend a week with and it left me wanting to know so much more about this island.

The walks on this trip were fabulous, particularly up to the three castles on top of the mountains. Our tour leader Mehmet was an enthusiastic and helpful person, with a passionate interest in the local flora which many of us appreciated. For me the one downside was the hotel: we were there during a particularly cold spell, and the heating didn't stay on in the room when you left, meaning you were coming home from a freezing cold day in the hills to an equally cold room which took quite a while to heat up. Many of us requested an extra duvet, but for some people it took 3 days to receive it, so they had some very cold nights. That aspect was a bit miserable, but otherwise this is a wonderful trip which I'd recommend.

Having been to both Greece and Turkey before it was fascinating to visit the island that has been a focal point of tensions between the two nations. The trip was an excellent mix of walking & sight seeing with plenty of spare time to do other things if required.
