A little autumn magic in the Paphos countryside 🍂🇨🇾

A beautiful hike around Pano Akourdaleia, near Kathikas, with breathtaking views and those perfect autumn temperatures that make exploring Cyprus such a joy.

After the walk, it was time to slow down and enjoy the charm of this idyllic village — browsing the artisan market, discovering handmade crafts, and treating ourselves to homemade cake and coffee.

Stunning scenery, local treasures, and a little taste of authentic village life. The perfect autumn day in Cyprus! ☀️

A little taste of authentic Cyprus at Viklari – The Last Castle in Akamas! 🇨🇾

Breathtaking views, deliciously simple souvlaki, and a table under a canopy of grapevines. No fancy frills, just good food, a relaxed atmosphere, and the kind of place that makes you fall in love with Cyprus all over again.

Sometimes, the simplest things are the most memorable. Sun, views, great food, and a little piece of the real Cyprus. ❤️

A perfect sunny October hike through the beautiful Cypriot villages of Kathikas, Kato Arodes and Drouseia. ☀️🇨🇾

So much has changed, so much has been renovated, and there are some lovely little museums to discover along the way — including the Turtle Museum and the Basket Museum.

And the sweetest little find of the day? The Old School Cafe in Kato Arodes, the perfect spot for a well-deserved coffee after a day of exploring. ☕️

Sunshine, charming villages, hidden gems and a little taste of authentic Cyprus. What more could you ask for?

Three girls having an unforgettable day in Varosha, Northern Cyprus.

We explored a place where time has stood still for more than 50 years.

We cycled through the abandoned ghost town, past empty hotels, houses and streets that were once filled with holidaymakers, laughter and life. In 1974, Varosha was suddenly abandoned after the conflict in Cyprus — and its residents never returned. What was once one of the Mediterranean’s most glamorous holiday destinations became a haunting reminder of a divided island.

And yet, right beside this frozen piece of history, there is the most breathtaking turquoise sea — almost impossibly blue, warm and Caribbean-like. We swam, laughed, explored and tried to take it all in.

A day full of contrasts: beauty and sadness, history and freedom, friendship and adventure.

Three girls from Poland, Scotland and Germany — making memories in a place that carries so many of its own. 🇨🇾

Three girls. One city. One unforgettable day in Famagusta. ✨☀️

Exploring the old walled city — strolling through the historic streets, passing the massive Venetian walls and soaking up the atmosphere around Namık Kemal Square. 🏰

Stopping at the iconic Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque, wandering down historic streets lined with beautiful old buildings, and taking in the stories around every corner.

And of course: good food, coffee stops, lots of walking and even more laughing. 🍴☕️😂

A little history, a lot of sunshine, and three girls making Famagusta their playground for the day. ❤️

White River Beach, at the beginning of the Akamas Peninsula near Paphos, Cyprus. 🌊🌿

A quiet, romantic little escape with crystal-clear water, wild nature and that unmistakable Cyprus feeling.

But the real highlight? The entire beach is covered in little stone towers, carefully stacked by visitors over the years. 🪨✨

A magical place where the sea, the landscape and hundreds of tiny stone creations come together.

Early morning in Avakas Gorge, Akamas Peninsula, Cyprus. 🌿

We started early and had the whole gorge entirely to ourselves — cool, comfortable temperatures, complete silence, birds singing, wild goats watching from the rocks, and incredible nature all around us.

One of those hikes where you slow down, breathe, and simply enjoy being surrounded by Cyprus at its wildest. 🥾🌿
