WALKING IN CYPRUS
Steeped in mythological history Cyprus is a unique island. We discover its beautiful landscapes and rich cultural heritage as we trek through the Troodos Mountains and the Akamas Peninsula. In the Solea Valley we discover 12th century Byzantine churches and we explore the Tomb of Kings in Pafos. We also visit the Baths of Aphrodite, Kykkos Monastery and the Greco-Roman amphitheatre at Kourion.
