This package has been carefully put together in order for the walkers to get to hike in two different areas of the island, east and west of Kyrenia/Girne. The walks have been ‘hand picked’ for maximum enjoyment of views, flora, fauna, and hidden sites. Should you choose to hire a car, a handful of historical and cultural monuments such as monasteries, castles, and other objects of cultural and historical interest are within easy reach for a visit during this week. The altitude of walks ranges between 250-350 m sometimes with narrow paths which make the going slow. The timing of each hike is calculated to be approximately 3-3.5 hours.
Note: If you prefer longer hikes, no worries. We have extensive knowledge of the trails and this can be arranged for you. This itinerary was prepared for average fitness hikers.
Meet at the car park of Alsancak Municipality. An arrangement will be done with the customer prior to the trip.
This activity ends back at the meeting point.
