He is involved for many years in the sector of authentic ecotourism in Cyprus and is the author of a relevant guide book (with the title 'Exploring Authentic Cyprus'). He is a Greek Cypriot and specialises on guided walking trips.
We keep groups small, in order to offer a more personalised service.
The combination of the two trails offers a rich experience over a considerably elevation range in Cyprus: Usually excellent vistas at high elevation, juniper, black pine and barren rock Artemis, and coolness at lush Myllomeris Waterfalls trail.
It should be noted that in case of snow cover (usually some time between January and March), we can propose alternative walks, such as the excellent but more difficult circular 12 km Madari trail, the Pouziaris trail, etc.
Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health. Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries. Not recommended for pregnant travelers. Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness. A maximum of four (4) people per booking.

Meeting travellers at Troodos Square would give us more time for exploration. The same applies to a lesser extent for other places near the walks (Pano Platres, , Kakopetria, Kalopanayiotis, etc). Guiding time starts from the time the travellers meet the guide.
We can meet at any preagreed location in free Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca, Ayia Napa, Protaras and high Troodos (Kalopayiotis, Kakopetria, Pano Platres). We do not give a free ride from ports or airports.
