Escorted Tours in Cyprus from UK

Walking tours around the world are really loved by UK travellers. Walking tours in Cyprus are extremely popular and a truly rewarding way to experience the country’s natural beauty. Some of the best scenic hiking tours take you into the Troodos Mountains, where centuries-old frescoes and murals adorn the walls of the remarkable Painted Churches, a UNESCO World Heritage Site from the Byzantine era.

There are some excellent trekking tours in Northern Cyprus also, where the 158-mile long Besparmak Trail winds through the magnificent Kyrenia Mountain Range, where sheltered castles give way to magnificent sea views. Cycling tours are exhilarating in this pristine region too, taking you through quaint fishing villages and past the untouched beaches of the rugged Karpaz Peninsula.

Marvel at the Renaissance-era Venetian Walls that enclose the Old City, before wandering through medieval alleys, learning about the waves of cultures that left their mark on this island, from the Romans to the Ottomans to the British. Visit the acclaimed Paphos Archaeological Park, whose enormous Tombs of the Kings necropolis dates to the 4^th century BC. Many UK travellers combine this archaeological excursion with a seafaring odyssey to the nearby Blue Lagoon, a gorgeous, isolated beach with unrivalled views of the crystalline Mediterranean.
