Hello Nature Lovers & Adventurous Travelers 😍 My name is Stavroulla (probably a name you haven’t heard before 😉), I am excited to host you in my home; Cyprus. Join us (me & my friend Hala who is a tourism entrepreneur & will be co-hosting this trip with me )on a 6-day adventure across the island of the Goddess Aphrodite, where mythology, natural history, and breathtaking scenery come together. On this journey, we’ll uncover the island’s story from both legend and geology. 📖🔍 As a paleontologist and passionate traveler, I’ll guide you beyond the tourist spots to discover Cyprus through its rocks, traditions, and living culture. This trip is perfect not only for curious minds and nature lovers, but also for photography enthusiasts 📸🌿. Expect scenic hikes, coastal viewpoints, and authentic Cypriot cuisine along the way, all at a relaxed pace, with no accommodation changes, so you can enjoy comfort as well as discovery 🌟🌍. If you’re interested in a journey that combines myth, science, local insights & adventure, this trip is for you. 👉 Get ready to see Cyprus Through my Eyes! 👀🇨🇾 📝 IMPORTANT NOTES 1- ACCOMMODATION 🏠 🧳 Cost is calculated based on double occupancy, with accommodation choices that can provide options with twin beds. Once the group is formed, we will revisit room preferences together 🤝. If someone wishes to upgrade to a single room, will do our best to arrange it for an additional fee of approximately €250–€300 💶 (depending on the final accommodation choice and group size/ composition). 2- AIRPORT TRANSFERS ✈️ 🚖 If our schedule allows, We’ll be more than happy to pick you up from Larnaca Airport 🤗. If that’s not possible, We’ll make sure you have clear instructions for easy transfer 🚖.
ABOUT ME: Hi, I’m Stavroulla, a paleontologist from Cyprus with a deep passion for traveling, exploring, and adventure. ✨ I’ve been traveling with my family since I was just one year old, and over time it became not just a tradition, but one of my greatest loves in life. 🌟🌍 As a true nature enthusiast, I enjoy hiking, spending time outdoors, and discovering places that bring a sense of inner peace and connection with nature. 🌿 I’ve been practicing archery since I was 14 and have a deep love for horses. I’m also fascinated by local traditions: tasting authentic cuisine, watching traditional dances, and experiencing the culture of every place I visit. My goal during this trip is to create unforgettable memories together while showing you Cyprus the way I Love it.
ACCOMMODATION: The accommodation will be in a small central hotel or apartment of an equal standard, all featuring new furnishings. Rooms are shared (double occupancy, twin beds available), and we will try to pair same-gender travelers together. A single-room upgrade can be arranged for an additional fee if preferred. One base all trip (unpack once and relax after each day). ✨

Trip Itinerary
1
Larnaca
Day 1-2
Welcome to Cyprus! If you land at Larnaca airport, we’ll pick you up and take you straight to the accommodation. If you arrive in Paphos airport, just let us know in advance so we can provide the right guidance to help you get to Larnaca. For those arriving early on Wednesday 12th, we’ll take a relaxing walk in Larnaca’s charming downtown, explore the sights, and taste some delicious traditional Loukoumades and Cypriot coffee!
2
Paphos
Day 2-3
Get ready for a dazzling day along the Paphos Coast, where tectonic drama meets seaside magic! We’ll kick things off with the jaw-dropping Cape Aspro Cliffs, before heading to the legendary Petra tou Romiou also known as Aphrodite’s Rock, where mythology says the goddess herself emerged from the waves. After soaking up the views, we’ll refuel with a hearty Cypriot feast at a cozy village taverna. To finish, we’ll trade the sea breeze for adventure as we wander through the wild beauty of Avakas Gorge, where towering limestone walls and hidden wildlife bring nature’s grandeur up close.
3
Ayia Napa
Day 3-4
Discover Eastern Cyprus in a day of sea, culture, and flavor! Marvel at the Cape Greco Sea Caves and take in sweeping views over Konnos Bay , then explore the Hippo Cave and the open-air wonders of the Ayia Napa International Sculpture Park. When the sea air stirs your appetite, we’ll feast on the freshest catch of the day at Ayia Napa Harbour before continuing to the Thalassa Museum, diving deeper into Cyprus’s maritime heritage and natural history. As the sun sets, the adventure wraps up in true island style at a traditional taverna night with live music, where good food, laughter, and dancing are always on the menu!
4
Mitsero
Day 4-5
Step into a day where science, flavor, and scenery collide! We’ll start with a tasty treat, Cypriot koupes with a bold, creative twist, before heading to the Red Lake at Agia Marina Xyliatou, its color tied to Cyprus’ rich mining past, once an open site for copper and iron pyrite in the early 20th century. Next, it’s a walk through deep time at Kakkaristra Gorge, where walls packed with ancient marine fossils tell stories from millions of years ago. Refueled with a leisurely lunch in Nicosia’s Old Town, we’ll close the day in style at the shimmering Larnaca Salt Lake, catching its magical sunset glow at the golden hour!
5
Troodos
Day 5-6
Get ready to walk across what was once the floor of an ancient ocean! Our adventure begins at Troodos Square, where we’ll follow the Cyclical Nature Trail, a scenic two-hour hike that reveals each slice of Cyprus’s world-famous ophiolite complex. On the way, we’ll stop at the old Hadjipavlou Chromite Mine: once bustling with miners, it’s now closed and protected as a haven for bats, fitting, since Cyprus is the only country in Europe home to 18 different bat species! After about three hours of geology and gorgeous views, we’ll recharge with lunch before heading to the Amiantos Geopark & Botanical Garden, where nature, history, and scenery blend into a fascinating finale.
6
Larnaca
Day 6
On your departure day, if you’re flying from Larnaca airport we can drop you off at the airport. For flights from Paphos, we will help arrange your trip.
