Super excursion d'une journée qui regroupe plusieurs magnifiques sites dont les gorges d'Avakas, la péninsule d'Akamas, Lara Turtles Beach, les cascades d'Adonis avec baignade dans le blue lagoon en prime. Notre chauffeur Andréa était top et le guide Mario au top aussi. Seul hic: problèmes au niveau de la récupération le matin. Nous avons du attendre une deuxième Jeep car la première était pleine. On est un peu serrés à 8 dans la Jeep mais ça fait parti du fun si vous tomber sur un groupe sympa. Je conseille pour ceux qui n'ont pas de 4x4 car certains stops sont inaccessibles en voiture classique.It is a fake advertisement, this price not includes the lunch and the Aphrodite bath. 3 hours of driving in an dirty uncomfortable car and no time for fun or looking around. Wasting time at a small bar without any attraction for the lunch of the drivers, who have run back for the next trip. DO NO...
It is a fake advertisement, this price not includes the lunch and the Aphrodite bath. 3 hours of driving in an dirty uncomfortable car and no time for fun or looking around. Wasting time at a small bar without any attraction for the lunch of the drivers, who have run back for the next trip. DO NOT TAKE IT!The first part of excursion was really nice.

The first part of excursion was really nice. Gorge and the path are really amazing. Next stop Lara bay, but unfortunately there were no turtles - we only saw the turtles nests. Organizators didn’t brought us to the Third point -Aphrodite’s baths (explained that we ordered half day excursion and this point is not included. It is strange because neither in the ticket nor in the page there was not information re. this. ) Also in the offer and ticket there was mentioned that lunch is included, but appeared that not. A lot of things were not according offer, except this everything was nice.You will see most of the highlights of Akamas, but you will not stay there for long. I would recommend going on your own. What we really did not like was that our group had to join other groups at the places we visited. If you get there you will be with more than 20 people walking around. The gu...
You will see most of the highlights of Akamas, but you will not stay there for long. I would recommend going on your own. What we really did not like was that our group had to join other groups at the places we visited. If you get there you will be with more than 20 people walking around. The guide will tell something and that is it. I also think you could visit more places. After lunch we just went to a beach (because we did not want to go on a boat) and that was it for the afternoon. We were also not a fan of our guide. He was knowledgeable absolutely, but it felt also as he was just doing his job. We met the other guides, like George Michael (nick name) and he really did an effort. Unfortunately he was driving another jeep. In short, just spend your money on hiring a buggy of quad and go your own way.It was great experience to go off-road. Experiencing Avakas Gorge was magnificent. Guide was also very funny and knowledgeable.

It was great experience to go off-road. Experiencing Avakas Gorge was magnificent. Guide was also very funny and knowledgeable. But some of the stop-points were a bit dull and left me wondering that maybe there is something better in the beautiful scenery of Cyprus that is worth seeing. But overall, it was a nice and valuable trip with a number of pictures and experiences to remember.
