Familial spirit – Atalanti 25 May

A wonderful gathering of Strollers hiked, mostly under the clouds, at Atalanti on 25 May and shared a day full of witty and humorous exchanges, in a positive and tolerant mood; just like everyone’s idea of a perfect family. Compliments to Martin for leading the activity, and to Victor, Maria and Anna for the photos.

A Whole larger than the sum of its parts – Kampos Livadiou 19 May

A lively gathering of Strollers enjoyed the 2 hikes at Kampos Livadiou on 19 May. The collective experience was built from an array of views, exchanges, impressions and effort; so much so, that looking back at the day, one feels that everybody and everything contributed to create a whole, which is larger than the sum of its parts. Compliments to Elena and Petros for the photos. Join us for the penultimate season activity here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/troodos-atalanti-circle-25-may/.

Dreamlike Landscape – Platys 11 May

A wonderful blend of Strollers hiked on 11 May; in a thick forest along the banks of a river; in optimal cloudy weather; with spirited conversations around lunch, and contributions from frequent members as well as newcomers. That was a day that stands out in every participant’s weekly routine. That was a day that brought out the best of each one. This is the unparalleled character of the Cyprus Strollers. Compliments to Antonis for leading the activity and to Eleni and Nicoletta for the photos.

Easter Tuesday Platania – 7 May

We hiked and had a great time over lunch, perhaps our good mood was enhanced by the thought that we could manage to be out on a working day. Compliments to Elena and Franco for the beautiful photos. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/platys-valley-11-may/
