We rested in Cyprus from the tour operator "Natalie Tour". There were very positive impressions from the organization of our holiday - meeting at the airport, transfer, hotel guide, information at the hotel - everything was impeccable!
Separately, I would like to note the excursion program. It was here in Cyprus that we tried a private tour for the first time. Its cost from our tour operator was 320 euros for two. But, given that we liked three of the standard set of excursions, and the cost of each was about 60 euros per person, we probably won. Since the individual tour included a trip by car for about 8 hours (we ended up with a little more) with a guide, only my husband and I. We chose the time of departure and the route of the trip ourselves. I want to say right away that we were just amazingly lucky with the guide! Elena, that was the name of our guide, had a magical tour for us.
We saw both what we planned ourselves and what she suggested to us along the way. Infinitely pleasant in communication, interestingly telling, not imposing anything! Despite the fact that the tour lasted longer than it should have, she did not show any haste and gave us the opportunity to enjoy everything where we wanted to stay. We visited the village of Omodos in the mountains, where they make indescribably beautiful lace and silver products, visited a winery, where we enjoyed Cypriot wines, and tasted the famous “Commandaria” - they put the emphasis on “i”, Local moonshine “Zivania”. We chose some of the wine and home, of course. We had lunch in one of the restaurants overlooking Olympus (Of course, not Greek, but somehow, it turns out that Cyprus has its own Mount Olympus) .. We did not even have time to announce that we would like to try the Cypriot national dish " kleftiko”, and Elena has already gone and ordered it for us.
The difference is immediately visible - you get from Europe to the Turkish market. Just like in our movie classic - "The Diamond Arm" - Nicosia is a city of contrasts!
All in all, the tour was amazing. Informative, voluminous, interesting, and most importantly - you don’t have to wait for anyone, everything is just for you personally. And all in one day. So I strongly advise if you want to visit several places and they are not completed in one “ready-made” excursion - take an individual one and comfort will be provided.
For us, the tour was simply unforgettably interesting and enjoyable. Many thanks for this guide Elena and the tour operator!
