Cyprus Tours in September 2025

Awesome trip with a home base in an amazing hotel with great views, pool and breakfast buffet. The walks were different terrain every day, beautiful scenery. Gizer was an excellent, knowledgeable, funny guide. He arranged dinners, trips, could not ask for a better leader of the group. The only complaint: very hot weather that made the hiking less enjoyable than ideal. Definitely recommended!

I am just back from an amazing week in North Cyprus as part of a lovely group, and led by fantastic guide, Gizer. This trip is an interesting combination of walking and history which I very much enjoyed. It was very hot at times; one of my highlights was swimming in the Mediterranean at the end of a long walk from Kantara on day 4. We all went on the optional trip to Famagusta - this was well worth while. We also very much enjoyed the local food and drink in the evenings!

I thoroughly enjoyed my holiday. However, I like others in my group found the heat in Cyprus in early September to be unsuitable for walking in this terrain. This is especially so as much if the walks were around midday and in direct sunlight without shade or cover. It is my understanding that the high temperatures we experienced would not have been previously typical for the region or season., and howeverI are likely to continue. I also understand that this particular trip does not take place over the summer months for this reason., and that this was the first of the new season. Local information obtained considered with the current rise in global temperatures, and the corresponding rise iof temperatures in the Cyprus region, that this holiday should not be available until the end of September. As previously mentioned, it was not just me who feels this way. It was also the opinion of other members of the group who have travelled with Explore! previously without any issues. Saying this I must recommend Mehmet our tour leader who did a superb job accomodating the diverse needs of the group to ensure that everyone had an enjoyable and fulfilling holiday.

A good and well organised trip although dominated by poor weather - which was no one's fault of course. Good group - we gelled well together - and with a good Tour Leader it made for a very good week with the bonus of celebrating new year in "our style".
