  • CYPRUS Cyprus in Your Heart
    CYPRUS Cyprus in your Heart Life is the Journey That You Make It It is often said that life is not only what you are given, but what you make of it. In the beautiful Mediterranean island of Cyprus, its warm inhabitants have truly taken the motto to heart. Whether it’s an elderly man who basks under the shade of a leafy lemon tree passionately playing a game of backgammon with his best friend in the village square, or a mother who busies herself making a range of homemade delicacies for the entire family to enjoy, passion and lust for life are experienced at every turn. And when glimpsing around a hidden corner, you can always expect the unexpected. Colourful orange groves surround stunning ancient ruins, rugged cliffs embrace idyllic calm turquoise waters, and shady pine covered mountains are brought to life with clusters of stone built villages begging to be explored. Amidst the wide diversity of cultural and natural heritage is a burgeoning cosmopolitan life boasting towns where glamorous restaurants sit side by side trendy boutiques, as winding old streets dotted with quaint taverns give way to contemporary galleries or artistic cafes. Sit down to take in all the splendour and you’ll be made to feel right at home as the locals warmly entice you to join their world where every visitor is made to feel like one of their own. 2 Beachside Splendour Meets Countryside Bliss Lovers of the Mediterranean often flock to the island of Aphrodite to catch their breath in a place where time stands still amidst the beauty of nature.

  • Walks in the Troodos Mountains of Cyprus Introduction by Chris Thompson 2003
    Walks in the Troodos Mountains of Cyprus Introduction by Chris Thompson 2003 I have just experienced a wonderful walking holiday based in the resort of Platres (1200 metres / 3937 feet) which is situated in the Troodos (1920 metres / 6299 feet) mountain range on the fringe of the forests' southern slopes. The forests offer superb walking mostly along loose surface road tracks (disused mule trails or the old pre-tarmac road routes) with a comfortable mixture of open viewpoints and shade provided by the pine forests through which they have been cut. The local tourist authorities have provided a leaflet, which lists 11 walks in the area. It is not possible to obtain walking maps in Cyprus (or UK) and the tourist office maps have no detail. As there are no meaningful instructions provided in the leaflet, you could experience difficulty following some of the walks. I completed all the walks and found some path forks and junctions that were not sign-posted. If you make the wrong choice you could walk a considerable distance before you realise this, which tends to spoil the enjoyment! I decided to write this guide to assist fellow walkers - I hope you enjoy using it. I have included sufficient details for each walk, enabling you to approach them with complete confidence. An introduction to each walk offers simple advice and ideas for your consideration. I have listed the overall times and distances plus "time on route" between instructions, with totals in brackets. It is extremely difficult to offer an accurate time because personal walking speed, fitness and terrain will have considerable impact on timing.

  • Authentic Cyprus Guide.Pdf
    introShort This guidebook has been designed to provide visitors with an extensive insight into the delightful world of rural Cyprus. This is a world apart from the beaches and tourist hotspots. Here, timeless villages, tiny remote painted churches, stunning scenery, forested mountain trails and a way of life that has hardly changed over the past centuries, are just waiting to be discovered. The first part of this book provides general information on rural Cyprus, its history, traditions, cultures, flora and fauna, places of interest and more. The second half of the book, details 15 recommended driving excursions. All of the routes can be accomplished easily within a day’s drive in a regular car, yet all have something different to offer. The routes highlight points-of-interest along the way and all start and finish on one of the main roads. These routes are also ideal for organised group tours with small buses. The routes include places to stop for walking, cycling, bird watching, fresh-water fishing or to simply explore the countryside and charming villages. All that’s needed is a good road map, a sunhat, plenty of water, comfortable walking shoes and a spirit of adventure. NOTE: The spellings of all place-names conform to those indicated on the road signs. However, in some cases, these may vary from those shown on your road map.
