Advice

  • For active tourists, excursions around Cyprus for the whole day, which last for 8-10 hours, are ideal. Kids get tired of a long road and do not tolerate travel on mountain serpentines. For parents with small children, we recommend choosing half-day tours.
  • It's hot in Cyprus in summer! Dress lightly. Bring sun hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and drinking water on the road. For a beach holiday and snorkeling, a towel and bathing accessories will come in handy. When visiting religious sites, choose plain clothes that cover your knees and shoulders. Women should take a scarf or stole.
  • For any excursion, it is better to put on comfortable sports shoes - sneakers or sneakers.
  • Always carry cash with you. They are needed to pay for entrance tickets to museums and archaeological sites. In addition, you can always buy your favorite souvenirs, food and drinks.
  • If you love trekking, explore the island on your own! There are equipped hiking trails in the Troodos mountains and along the rocky coast.
  • For those who want to diversify their vacation and see two countries, we advise you to go from Cyprus on an excursion to Israel. Tourists are taken on one- and three-day tours to the Holy Land by plane and ferry. The travel programs are different, but the itinerary always includes Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Prices for group excursions for adults start from 300 €, and for individual ones - from 900 €.
