  WALKING IN NORTH CYPRUS

  

  Written December 2011

  A beautiful place worth exploring & best on foot. The local people were extremely friendly and makes you feel at home and very welcome. Another plus point is that they charge in Turkish Lira which means you can really stretch your dollar!

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  The selected hotel ; Onar Village Resort was wonderful. Especially all the serving crew. Customer service was 5-star and they do their daily task with so much personal pride & always with a smile! Service requests/response were very quick, be it for extra towels, fresh eggs/coffee...Exodus could not have choosen a better hotel. 

  What did you think of your group leader?

  She tried her best considering she was not feeling well. We did not get enough time to simply chill & soak in the atmosphere as her walking pace was quite fast. 

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Fly into Ercan (ECN) from Istanbul (IST) instead of via Larnaca (LCA). More convenient and the flight on TK is very pleasant. Simply pre-book a taxi from Ercan Taxi Service online & someone will meet you directly upon arrival. Safe & hassle-free.

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  Explore Northern Cyprus with Exodus! They manage the itinerary very well & the choosen hotel; Onar Village Resort is superb!

  WALKING IN NORTH CYPRUS

  

  Written December 2011

  I had a great week in North Cyprus ... loved the place, loved the people, loved the trees, loved the sea, loved the food. It was my first trip of this kind... and it was a good start.

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  Walking along that long-long shore barefooted on the sand and in the sea. Adoring the trees in the woods.

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Ros is great.  She knew everything about everything. And she is very good company.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Don't worry, be happy!

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  It was a pity that I was not able to walk down from the hotel to have a stroll on the seaside or on the streets of Kyrenia, because of that stupid highway.

  WALKING IN NORTH CYPRUS

  

  Written September 2011

  Yet another brilliant Exodus holiday. I would thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone thinking of discovering the stunning scenery & history of the North Cyprus region.

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  Too many to mention however the views from the top of Kyrenia Castle were simply breathtaking!

  Also - sitting enjoying an Al Fresco beer in the beach side bar at the end of the Karpaz Peninsula was amazing!

  The Al Fresco meals we had down at Kyrenia Harbour were also great - sitting having dinner with boats bobbing about in the water beside you takes some beating!

  What did you think of your group leader?

  We had a different group leader for the first couple of days however our leader for the majority of the holiday, Ghisa(apologies if that's the incorrect spelling!) was excellent in every way - highly organised, very sociable & above all his knowledge of the area and it's history was amazing.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  The main piece of advice would be, if you're thinking about this trip then go for it!!

  It was VERY hot, even in September when I was there, so take plenty of sunscreen(although I'm a fair skinned Scottish chap!) 

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  Have to add that the hotel we stayed in, Onor Village, was excellent. It's set on a hillside and my bedroom balcony provided stunning views towards Kyrenia town and the Med beyond.

  The staff at the hotel were very welcoming and made us feel very relaxed(I got well aquainted with the bar man!)

  TEU - Walking in North Cyprus

  Just back from a wonderful trip, highly recommended! 

  Read full review

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  Walking where the Crusaders walked while visiting their castles at St Hilarion & Buffavento. Then there were the restaurants on the quayside at Kyrenia harbour.

  What did you think of your group leader?

  It ended up being around 40C for our walks, which could have been very unpleasant. Hoosain kept us well-supplied with water & stopped in the shade at regular intervals. He changed our program to keep away from the hottest areas and really looked after us brilliantly.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  The walks are really not strenuous, even if they were long on some days. This is a beautiful, and relatively unspoiled part of the Mediterranean.

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  I didnt enjoy our day out on the Karpas peninsula, thinking it was a lot of driving to see very little. But other people in the group did enjoy the day, so this was probably more down to personal preference. On all other days, drives were quite short.

  Our hotel was great, although far from the town & restaurants. But it was possible to get taxis easily and some local restaurants do offer a pick-up & return service.

  I was a bit apprehensive about how things would be, with the Turkish army being in North Cyprus. This didnt turn out to be an issue, and I felt very safe the whole trip.

   Overall, a wonderful trip!
