EXALT (EXcursion ALTernatives) is an innovative organisation

specialising in single-day ‘off-the-beaten-track’ jeep and trekking

expeditions. Servicing the western, central and eastern parts of

Cyprus, with offices in three major towns, EXALT is dedicated to small group Experience Tourism, in which you become an active

participant in the excursion rather than just a passive observer of people, places and things. As an alternative to ‘mass-tourism’ coach tours and convoy-type ‘jeep safaris’, EXALT has developed a series of adventurous and informative special interest programmes devoted to environmentally-friendly exploration of natural wonders, cultural monuments and wilderness areas across Cyprus. EXALT’s programmes fall into two categories: Jeep Excursions and Trekking Expeditions. Our ‘prime directive’ is to get off-the-beaten-track: We do not visit any famous sightseeing attractions, we stick to dirt tracks and goatpaths more than main roads, we walk rather than drive whenever possible, and our itineraries change according to the season and interests of the group. With a ‘less-is-more’ mentality, EXALT limits group sizes to comfortable, non-intrusive numbers. It could be said that ‘Eating and Drinking’ is a national sport in Cyprus. At EXALT, we give major emphasis to the food element of our itineraries, believing that top-quality local food is just as important to the success of the excursion as the sites and landscapes you will visit. Thus, every EXALT excursion includes not just ‘lunch’, but an unforgettable gastronomic experience in a small, family-run taverna. All meals feature a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian provincial dishes not found in restaurants frequented by tourists (no chips!!)
