Here
is a unique opportunity to travel deep inside the Paphos
hinterland to explore abandoned
villages,
deserted monasteries, remote
bird habitats, flowing rivers, medieval bridges, dense forests
and rich vineyard areas. Our itinerary, which brings you into
some of the most undeveloped regions of Cyprus, creates a
sort of ‘mixed meze’ of nature
and culture experiences set against
a backdrop of dazzling wilderness in the river valleys of
the Troodos foothills.
Participants
can look forward to great floral displays
in spring, and superb, almost dream-like landscape the year
round.
A
typical ‘river valley day’ includes the following easy-going
activities:
Strolling the goat-filled
cobblestone streets of a tiny farming
village;
Gazing upon sheer 100-metre
limestone cliffs to observe birds
wheeling in the air currents;
Hiking through ‘unmolested
landscape’ to reach a flowing stream
or a 16th century monastery;
Sampling the gastronomic
wonders of a small village kitchen
– and sometimes picking oranges straight from the
tree! |
