Interesting day

Long day but worthwhile. Excellent careful driver and knowledgeable guide. Rain affected first stop so unable to fully enjoy.

Cyprus in a day

A long day but a great experience. A mountain village showcasing traditional crafts, crossing the 'Green Line' into the Turkish Cypriot part of Nicosia, the amazing interior of a Greek Orthodox Church. Unfortunately the flamingos were on the far side of the salt lake. Our guide was very knowledgable with lots of information about where we were going as well as the history of Cyprus and the time went quickly. While it would have been nice to have had a little longer at each of the stops, I appreciate this was hard to do with the distances travelled from Pafos.

The three cities tour

Overall good, the guide was nice and engaging and had important information making our visit a bit more inside the box. Visiting three cities on a bus and in a day is complex, but considering the limited time it was nice. Weather helped and Cyprus is a lovely island.
