With the growth of popularity of hiking, one finds it hard to tell one club from another. At the Cyprus Strollers we take pride at values that cannot be copied. Such as good humour, evidenced on 31 Jan. at Mandra Kampiou: check the titles of the photos, for a sample. Compliments to Antonis for leading the hike, and to Anna and Nana for the photos.

A large gathering, with majority young and first-time Strollers, blended nicely on the cultural and romantic walk in Galata and Kakopetria on 25 Jan., and had a feast time over lunch. Compliments to Evelina for the photos. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/mahairas-mandra-kampiou-circle-sat-31-jan/

All is well when it ends well. Indeed, the overlying clouds, together with the cheerful mood of Strollers made the outing a success, lifting the weight from the Organizers, who struggled midweek to rearrange, after a ban on all Troodos trails. Compliments to Elena and Petros for the photos. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/galata-kakopetria-cultural-romantic-stroll-sunday-25-jan/

Through fields of green Xenophon trod

An Ithaca trail, by ancient god

Not for war, or fame’s delight

But Vasilopita, shining bright

Ithaca’s trail, a winding thread

Past olive groves, where dreams are spread

Each stone a story, whispered low

Of journeys past and winds that blow

The air is sweet with baking spice

A promise warm, a taste so nice

Vasilopita, round and grand

A lucky coin to be held in hand

Surely not Xenophon’s winning coin

Plucked mysteriously from his groin

The coin is in the cake, you see

Slice and share, with joy and glee.

Compliments to Martin for this inspired poetic summary of the day! Compliments to Anna for the photos. Best wishes to the 4 winners and to all participants for 2026. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/madari-selladi-karamanli-doxa-si-o-theos-sat-17-jan/

Just 5 days before Christmas a lovely company of Strollers hiked on Kourtellorotsos under optimal conditions and shared cheerful thoughts about dolls of all kinds. Compliments to Elena and Petros for the photos. We wish you a pleasant Christmas and New Year holiday and hope to see you at our Vasilopita event on 11 January https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/lythrodontas-2-hikes-sunday-11-january-2026/

We did it: we decorated a living tree/bush with Christmas eco-friendly decoration, while hiking at Governor’s coast on 14 December. A large company of Strollers, made of frequent Strollers, not-so-frequent, and newcomers enjoyed the walk, the sea landscape, contributed to decorating, and were rewarded with the seafood lunch. Compliments to Martin for leading the day’s activity. Compliments to Despina for the imaginative, novel initiative to decorate a living Christmas tree while hiking! Compliments also to Lydia, Margaret, Nicoletta, Antonis and Nicos for the photos.

A large, brave gathering of Strollers at Selladi and Pezounokremos on 6 December, defied the rain and derived much joy, as evidenced by a climb up a terrace to a vineyard, and spontaneous singing at the restaurant. Compliments to Elena and Petros for the photos. You will not want to miss our tree decoration on our next activity https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/governors-coast-sunday-14-dec/
