Kyrenia Trails

The view from the top of Buffavento Castle was superb and definitely not to be missed. An example of when photographs just don't do the landscape the justice it deserves!

There wasn't anything on the trip that I didn't enjoy! The itinerary gave just the right amount of activity and opportunity for relaxation for someone who has a reasonable level of fitness but is not an accomplished walker. The group of people were an eclectic mix of fantastic characters who all got along famously for the week and the group leader was particularly astute at judging the individuals within the group and catering for their different personalities and interests.

[Accommodation] The view from the hotel room was unfortunate as it overlooked the hotel parking area and surrounding private (run down) apartment blocks. Some of the pools were not available as they were being prepared for the summer season and the beach was not accessible. The location of the hotel was not ideal as although it was a reasonably short walk to the town of Kyrenia, the route seemed a little dubious,particularly after dark, however the taxi alternative was cheap and reliable. The rooms of the hotel were functional and clean however the balcony door did not lock. Staff were very polite and friendly. The ceramic sink fell through the bathroom unit and smashed into several pieces, cutting and bruising my foot.

The knowledge of the group leader with regard to the local area's restaurants, bars and places of interest, as well as the history of Northern Cyprus was fantastic and made a huge difference to the experience of the holiday. A job very well done!

***** Comment from The Adventure Company*****

Since receiving this feedback we have been in contact with the hotel who have now carried out stress tests on sinks in all hotel rooms and made sure that all sinks are securely fixed to the wall. 

Visiting Antiphonitis Church during our walk. The lunches prepared and brought out to us on each walk.

Trip was well organised.  Leader adjusted itinerary due to very hot weather giving us time to aclimatise to the heat.  The back up vehicle with plentiful supply of water and also offering the ability to have a break from the walk and meet walkers at their next stop.  Food supplied on the walk was very welcome and very good.

[Accommodation] Staff very helpful and grounds well kept.  Pools well kept.  Breakfast choice was excellent

Roz was well organised and helpful group leader, giving advice on where to eat in the evening etc.

The walk through the aremenian ruins. Nice track with great scenery and not on a road.

Bit slow and less challenging than I was expecting. Still nice but would have preferred more actual hiking. I would have enjoyed an overnight hike in the hills if it was possible. Maybe stay in a hut or something like that.

We had a very enjoyable holiday.A paricular highlight for us was how well our group of 9 got on together.Our guide Ross was brilliant.Mustapher provided discreet backup transport throughout the week.The lunches were a real treat to look forward to along the route.

Roz is a credit to the Adventure Company. Without her our holiday would not have been the same.Nothing was too much trouble. She was great fun too.
