It was very nice, clean, typically Cypriot accommodation with home grown, organic vegetable produce and meals. The staff were helpful and friendly and the Ambelia Village hotel is nicely laid out with a lovely pool - but best to catch the sun in the morning and early afternoon! We followed 3 walks which each had historic places to see. the written instructions in English were not very comprehensive, a little confusing at times and not very well laid out - it would have been helpful to have more idea of distances indicated between each instruction. The Garmin provided helped keep us on track, expecially when the taxi driver dropped us at the slightly wrong start point on two occasions! I think it would be an improvement to have more paths to choose from which are soft underfoot through forest rather than on hard stone roads which can be used by vehicles.

On this tour you get a short guided drive around the town center and after that you have 4 whole hours free time to explore the town. Spend time in the Walled Old Town Centre, within the Venetial Walls, wander in Laiki Yitonia with it's narrow streets, handicraft shops, traditional restaurants and coffee shops. Enough time is given to cross the line (also known as the "Green Line") that divides the Capital of Cyprus into the southern Greek Cypriot region and the northern Turkish Cypriot region since the Turkish invasion of 1974.

We visited the zoo the other day, it has most animals you could think off, they seemed well kept for the most part, a zookeeper mark allowed us to get a once in a lifetime photo with a giraffe, and you could tell he cared deeply about the animals, thought it was a great day out. We did think the monkey enclosures could be bigger and were a little on the small side, again with the birds and the ostriches. But other than that, the majority of the animals seemed to have big time enclosures and plenty of space to roam. And they are all rescue animals from what I understood, so have deffo got a better quality of life. I wouldn’t eat there though we went to the cafe which had run out of hand sanitiser when we entered, so we informed the staff, but then when we left it still hadn’t been refilled which during corona times is quite irresponsible. But if you like going to the zoo, take your own lunch and hand sanitiser and you will have a good day out ????

Phivos Ioannides, who would be guiding the trip and the walks, is a world traveller with extensive studies, wide business and other experiences. He is involved for many years in the sector of authentic ecotourism in Cyprus and is the author of a relevant guide book (with the title 'Exploring Authentic Cyprus'). He is a Greek Cypriot and specialises on guided walking trips. Our transportation (Citroen C8 MPV) can take upto six adult passengers and a driver. We keep groups small, in order to offer a more personalised service. The combination of the two trails offers a rich experience over a considerably elevation range in Cyprus: Usually excellent vistas at high elevation, juniper, black pine and barren rock Artemis, and coolness at lush Myllomeris Waterfall trail.

This company is terrible. Do not trust them. I have been fighting since last August to get a refund on accommodation and an airport transfer. Received a voucher that I did not want or ask for (reported them to the competition and markets authority regarding this) and then was told that a refund would only be processed when their director was ready and would be subject to a £100 admin charge!!!!. Promised that refunds would be processed in January 2021 (as voucher expires March 2021) and then told "no" they would not. Fobbed off again by their reservations manager who quite frankly must be embarrassed now by how many times she can word things to basically say "Get Lost" you are not going to get a penny back. And she clearly thinks I am so naive to think they would have paid the hotel the full amount of money for the accommodation 5 months before we due to travel there and cannot now get the money back to pay me. Rubbish just pure rubbish. If you have any sense you will go nowhere near this awful company - you have been warned.

10. Pano Lefkara, Choirokoitia and Walled Nicosia - from Agia Napa

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Private transportation

Exclusions: No food or drinks are included in the package, Neolithic Choirokoitia Entry fee
