A Brilliant time with some great walking and a lot of History in this trip
Castles high up on mountain's. The History and the separation of Cyprus experience
He was great helpful with a lot of Historical knowledge
I did this trip in April 2024 you are still out of season in Cyprus it was still very hot and a shock when I came back to the UK
Lovely weather. Walks seemed more difficult than other grade 2’s I’ve done
Pushing myself to do the hardest walks. First walking holiday since major surgery in 2021. Good to get back into it
Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his country
Pace yourself for the very large meals, that seem never ending
the trip was as advertised
good
Very enjoyable trip.
Visiting old cities of Famagusta and Nicosia
Gizer was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and really brought the history of this fascinating island alive.
Good walking footwear essential
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.
Surviving the steps to the castle!
Gizer is a wonder. He is suffering with a virus but still being an amazing guide and companion. So knowledgeable and helpful. Amazing man.
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.
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.
Several. Selecting one, the view from Buffavento Castle but note: it's a LOT of steps.
Excellent
A great week walking in the mountains of North Cyprus. Vertiginous castles. A wealth of history.Lots of different mezes and kebabs. Superb group leader.
Buffovento castle.
Fantastic.
Beware of the of the pine processionary caterpillars!
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 .
Swim in the sea in February.
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.
Good for pleasant weather in February.
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.
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.
A decent level of fitness is required as some of the walks are a stiff test.
The island has a fascinating history and it was good to try to understand the recent history that has created North Cyprus, whilst participating in walks with great scenery. Plus visits to castles, abbeys and monasteries. Made even better by a great group of fellow travellers. The Pia Bella Hotel rooms are spacious and of excellent quality and good air conditioning. The breakfast buffet offers a wide choice. But if you favour European continental breakfast, there is no fish, very little meat and no pastries or croissants. There is an excellent pool, open till 6pm. The bar was often busy but service was good and prices competitive.
The view from the top of Kantara Castle, where you can see both the north and south coasts of the island. The optional trip to Famagusta was well worth taking - so full of history - both ancient and modern. And the cave at Incirli.
Gizer is an excellent guide and a great ambassador for his country. His knowledge of the full history of the island is extensive, which he imparts in an easy to understand, meaningful way. His restaurant recommendations were excellent. And good value.
A couple of the walks are quite long and intense on loose surfaces. Ensure you have good walking boots/shoes with grippy soles. Use of poles is recommended. Euros are widely accepted, but paying in Lira offers better value. Contactless is widely accepted, but paying in cash for a beer or coffee preferable. Some days are long but usually return in time for a quick swim in the excellent pool.
