DESTINATIONS SECOND-TIME GREECE & CYPRUS


 TUNING OUT They’ve been to: A beachside spa hotel Now try: Ayii Anargyri Natural Healing Spa Resort Sell it: If clients have dipped their toes into the spa world with a beachside resort and now want to up the game a little further with a more full-on retreat, suggest Ayii Anargyri. Set in the tiny village of Miliou –


home to fewer than 100 inhabitants – this luxury spot is Olympic Holidays’ top recommendation thanks to its health-giving, natural-spring waters and intriguing history – it once housed a church and monastery built in 1649 and was used by two travelling doctors to heal ailments. It now offers gourmet dining experiences alongside intensive spa treatments in a rural, serene setting that’s as conducive to switching off as you can get. Book it: Olympic Holidays offers a week’s half-board at the four-star Ayii Anargyri, Miliou, from £579, including flights from Gatwick on April 26. olympicholidays.com


 HIKING HOTSPOTS They’ve been to: Troodos Mountains Now try: Akamas Peninsula Sell it: Hiking trails criss-cross the Troodos Mountains, with highlights including the Madari Circular Walk, an eight-mile trail filled with pine, cedar, oak and fruit trees; and the Artemis


Trail, a flattish, three-to-four-hour route circling Mount Olympus. But visitors who’ve already


conquered these mountain landscapes might be after something different, and for that there’s the Akamas Peninsula. Set on the west coast, it has a whole host of wildlife alongside three scenic trails: Aphrodite, Adonis and Smigies. All three meander along rocky coastline and verdant forest with fragrant flowers and historical monastery ruins along the way, offering near-perfect views over the expanse of pure, solid blue stretching out below.

BELOW: Akamas Peninsula


Several operators offer tours around


the region. For a gentle, leisurely itinerary, suggest Adagio’s Cyprus Delight trip, which combines the trails with the Troodos Mountains, adding in Commandaria wine-tasting, halloumi- sampling, a boat trip and plenty more for those wanting to dig deep in this heritage-rich country. Book it: Adagio’s seven-night tour costs from £1,575, including flights and accommodation at the Annabelle with all breakfasts, dinners and some lunches. adagio.co.uk


Best of the rest LESSER-KNOWN SIGHTS


Choirokoitia If clients have already seen Paphos Archaeological Park, suggest this Unesco-listed Neolithic settlement as an alternative. It’s considered one of the earliest permanent human settlements in the country, with origins dating back to 6,000BC.


Kakopetria Nestled in the foothills of the mountains, this traditional village boasts Cyprus’s only surviving monastery church of its kind, Agios Nikolaos tis Stegis – making an excellent alternative to Larnaca’s Church of Saint Lazarus.
