Great trip
A really interesting trip with enjoyable walks, good company and a great leader.
Most Inspirational Moment
There were great views from the castles at the top of the mountains. A good reward for climbing steps.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Gizer was a great leader, organising interesting optional trips on the free day and final day. He also arranged 3 evening meals for those interested at varied, excellent restaurants. He also gave good restaurant recommendations. He is very knowledgeable about the area.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take walking poles for some of the downhill sections. You do need a decent level of fitness.
Suggestions
The hotel and rooms were good. We only ate breakfast in the hotel and that was fine with plenty of choice.

A Must Do Trip
Currently on the holiday. Having a wonderful walking experience although weather not been great but improving. Learning the history of the separation of the island very interesting too.
Most Inspirational Moment
Surviving the steps to the castle!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Gizer is a wonder. He is suffering with a virus but still being an amazing guide and companion. So knowledgeable and helpful. Amazing man.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Don't travel on group booking if offered with Lufthansa. The connection time is too short a connectione at Frankfurt (huge airport and long journey from one terminal to another) and luggage never arrived for all group booked passengers. Big hassle when luggage eventually arrives in Greece ( Larnaca) but can't be delivered to Turkish (Northern Cyprus) hotel. BIG stress and hassle.

Outstanding
Excellent guide, Gizer. Excellent driver, Ermer (spelling?). Eleven other interesting (not a euphemism) customers. Good walks, two reminded me of previous grade 3/4 but it’s subjective, to some extent. Good weather. Ten out of ten.
Most Inspirational Moment
Several. Selecting one, the view from Buffavento Castle but note: it's a LOT of steps.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent

Walking in Cyprus Feb. 2024
Enjoyable week, weather was warm and pleasant despite it only being early Feb. A little too much sight seeing and not enough walking . However the walking days were very enjoyable .
Most Inspirational Moment
Swim in the sea in February.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ingen was helpful and informative, had an excellent knowledge of the local area and Cyprus as well as and the best restaurants to go to. ( we ate very well every night!) . Sometimes he tended to give too much information so one missed the overview. The driver Omar was very pleasant also and very available even taking us out to dinner by bus so we could get to restaurants out of Kyrenia.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Good for pleasant weather in February.
Suggestions
Good food and wine . Good to gain some understanding of the history of Cyprus.

Excellent walking holiday, which was very well organised. The guide was very friendly and made it a great experience.

The walks were testing but a great achievement once we had finished. The group jelled very well and always supported by our guide.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Gizer the leader was excellent, always concerned that everyone was included and made it a great holiday. Very knowledgeable about local history, flora and forna.
Advice for Potential Travellers
A decent level of fitness is required as some of the walks are a stiff test.
