...and in case you are incarcerated by the TRNC Ministry in a cell on the construction site on the pretext of keeping you under quarantine, you can have incessant welding and drilling, bedding wreaked with smoke and everything else you are keen on as your idea of 10-day healthy stay in Nicosia quarters. I can't believe this is happening and it is all on the mandatory pre-paid quarantine package organized by the Ministry of Health.

The experience presents the traveller with two very authentic attractions in rural, semi-mountainous Cyprus. Both are highly recommended for those who want to experience the island's rich cultural heritage. The short walk next to the stream in Kakopetria adds a small natural component to the trip.

We contacted Phivos few weeks before we wanted to go on a 4- day hike in Cyprus. Phivos was very professional and kind with lots of patience to all the questions we had. He suggested a hike best fitting our nature, and the season. Prior to the hike, Phivos sent us a PDF book with all maps and information we needed, as well as each day trail navigation to use in GPS app (we used MPSME application that works offline with kml files and recommend this as well). The ground services included a zimmer/hotel with breakfast and dinner for each of the hike days, a transfer of our luggage from one place to the other, and a pick from Larnaca on the first day and on last day to the airport. Phivos picked us from Larnaca on the first day and took us to the starting point of the hike. During the 2hr drive Phivos told us many things about Cyprus society, history, geography, and nature, and answered last minute questions we had regarding the hike, as well as many questions we had regarding Cyprus. He also helped us deciding where to start the hike of the first day (changes were needed due to the weather and updated time of arrival). It was a reall pleasure to meet him personally and enjoy his vast knowledge and kindness!!! The 4-days hike in Cyprus countryside was perfect!!! It was the best combination of culture, agriculture and nature landscapes in the perfect season. We walked ~20 km a day in lovely landscapes and lovely views, every day starting from a different village after a nice breakfast, and finishing in the next village with zimmer/hotel and a nice dinner. The food was good (one of us is vegan) and the places we stayed in were pleasent and clean. We highly recommend Cyprus Walks Etc. and especially Phivos for anyone interested in self guided treaks in Cyprus!!! We had a wonderful time -Thank you Phivos!!!! Total and Efrat, Israel
3. 3-hour Nicosia Segway Tour
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 201 reviews
Segway Station was set up to bring the Segway tour experience to Nicosia. It is located at the corner of Aeschylou Street and a small, quaint walking street which includes a coffee shop, a bar and various craft shops. At Segway Station you can find a relaxing cafe/lounge area where you can chill out before and after your tour. On your Segway Tour we will show you Old Nicosia as you have never seen it before. Magnificent architecture, traditional alleys and workshops, the haunting green line, and nooks and crannies known only to locals. We will look at Old Nicosia while riding the Segways, which are zero-emission, environmentally friendly, noiseless electric personal transporters that enable you to take in over 2 hours, sights that could otherwise take one or two days to see, under the hot sun. We will be making brief stops at each landmark to allow for deeper appreciation of the sights, as well as photo opportunities.
Inclusions: Local guide, VAT, Coffee and/or Tea, Bottled water

This was a lovely trip. The bus stops at three different monasteries with the opportunity for a lovely lunch at one of them. The guide was very informative, not just about the monasteries but Cyprus in general. I would highly recommend it.

Cyprus is full of hidden treasures and you’ll explore some of the island’s rural highlights on this full day excursion into the Troodos Mountains. You’ll drive into the countryside – where most say the trip is worth it for the views alone – to Anogyra, Lampadistis Monastery and Kalopanayiotis with a few delights in between.
Inclusions: Lunch, Air-conditioned vehicle, Entrance fees, A glass of wine/water, Guide
Exclusions: Tips, Personal Expenses

The tour was private and very modified due to COVID. It really was more of a driver versus a tour, we got to see everything we wanted and our driver was very pleasant - but it was an unusual tour in these very unusual times.

The jeep ride was a bit too fast for my liking, especially on the winding mountain dirt roads. We enjoyed the natural reserves and the beautiful natural views though. It would have been nice to get more info on the places we were visiting, but maybe there wasn't much to them apart from the pretty views. The boat cruise was ok, lots of passangers, an hour to the Blue Lagoon, and hour there and an hour back. The Blue Lagoon itself was a bay full of other ships like ours, I thought it was going to be a little more quaint. Overall it was alright, always an experience and new sights seen.
9. Troodos Mountains and Nicosia Excursion from Larnaca

One of the most popular trips to discover traditional Cyprus, the unspoiled beauty of Troodos Mountains and Nicosia town - the last divided city in the world! Wonder around the Old Town Centre (within the Venetial Walls) in Nicosia, or walk up to the barrier (also known as "Green Line") that divides Nicosia into two since the Turkish invation in 1974. Visit picturesque Kakopetria Village and Troodos Mountains, where the forest stretches as far as the eye can see. Last stop is the village of Omodhos and the Holy Cross monastery.
Inclusions: Professional guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Air-conditioned vehicle

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 ????
