From Agia Napa : East Cape Greko Private Guided Kayak Tour

4. From Agia Napa : East Cape Greko Private Guided Kayak Tour

We start from Green Bay beach and initially kayak south just outside Cape Greko until we reach the tip of Konnos beach. We continue south past Agioi Anargyroi (chapel and) cave and reach south as far as 'Kamara tou Koraka' ('Crow's arch') natural bridge. We then return back in the opposite direction via Agioi Anargyroi, exploring more of the coastline upto the north end of Konnos beach. If the sea is calm (it very often is during the summer season), it is highly recommended that we also do some snorkeling (if customers like to - there are very good possibilities of spotting sea turtles either in Konnos beach or in Green bay. A maximum of two travellers kayaking at any time (if there are three or four people in the group, we would need to make arrangements with regards sharing the time on kayaks). If the customers agree, in case of forecasted choppy sea, instead we kayak around Agia Napa Sea Caves (if the weather is expected to be bad everywhere, we cancel the trip).

Troodos walking trip

5. Troodos walking trip

The itinerary of this tour is both flexible and customizable. It depends on the pick up place and on the combination of the chosen walks. The overall route will differ depending on the pick up location. Various stopping options include Kakopetria and the Agios Nicolaos tis Stegis painted church, accessible from Nicosia and listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. From other locations the itinerary would possibly include one of the Limassol wine villages. This tour may be customized to include a meal and wine tasting at a traditional village restaurant (if time permits this). The Walks: • Artemis trail (8 km / 5 miles, flat and easy) is the highest elevated trail in Cyprus, and covered with unique flora. When the weather is clear it offers excellent vistas to many parts of the island Myllomeris Waterfalls Trail ( 2.4 km / 1.5 mile, - 1.2 km each way, rather easy ) at an elevation of up to 1,000 m, this trail offers a radically different environment. The combination of the two trails offers a rich experience over a high elevation range in Cyprus.

Akamas Panoramic Walk

6. Akamas Panoramic Walk

Explore the playground of the goddess of love, Aphrodite. This 7-kilometer walk takes place in Akamas, a pristine, almost untouched area of Cyprus. If the customers prefer, we do a longer, 10-km walk and first do the east part of the Adonis trail, reaching the ruins of a medieval monastery for a picnic. From there, the route ascends to the peak known as "Moutti tis Sotiras". Enjoy unobstructed views of the north coast from Cape Arnaouti, the tip of Akamas, towards Chrysochou Bay, and the northwest all the way to Pomos in the northeast. After a pause for a picnic (in summer, we usually stop at a shaded spot) and soaking in the majestic views, walk to the Baths of Aphrodite on the Aphrodite trail (the last stretch is on a coastal dirt road, near the cliff). Depending on travelers' preferences and time availability, the tour route can be made longer (10 or 13 km). Other activities like swimming and snorkeling can also be included (usually during the hot season).

Our guide, Myra, gave us a very nice day. She is a very good driver, very friendly and taught us a lot about Cyprus. We visited 3 wineries, a monastery and had a nice lunch with a nice view. The wineries were well chosen. You tasted very different wines, you also got the chance to buy something, but nothing was forced on you. The owners of the first 2 wineries were real connoisseurs and did their job with passion. In the last winery we had some bad luck: the owner was not present and the nephew and niece ran the business that day and did so with little dedication. We had a super fun day! Well worth it for wine tasters! The promise “in a small group” is certainly fulfilled. We were only 3 of us private tour!

A very nice and well thought out tour. The three tastings all have their own charm and make the day very varied. Anna guided us through the day in a very entertaining and courteous manner. The stop in the village of Omodos rounded off the day. The food was varied and incredibly delicious. Thank you for a wonderful day.

Really great! Everyone was so nice from the guides. Been to three very beautiful and different winemakers! The last one is really great, a lot of wines that have won prizes. Lovely lunch and the village was also really beautiful. Even the road everywhere you look your eyes out.

Highly recommend this day trip! The communication from the tour company, our guide Theodora and the selection of local food and wine stops were all excellent. I would do this again in one of the other regions on the island on my next visit.

We love it. Totally recommend for those who like hiking and amazing views.
