10 Years Hiking made Pleasant

In 2024 the Cyprus Strollers are celebrating 10 years of weekly activity in Cyprus society. The distinguishing characteristic of the Cyprus Strollers is to combine hiking with communication, wit, humour, culture, caring; things that stimulate and nourish the soul and brain of each participant; with the intention that at the conclusion of the day every participant returns to base having 1st released the steam accumulated during the routine of the week just ended, and 2nd garnered sufficient stamina to help make it  during the routine of the week coming.

To achieve it, we gather around the lunch table after hiking, where we talk in a more relaxed fashion. Our lunch conversations cover themes stemming from our collective interests, and many participants enjoy standing up and contributing their thoughts, ideas or simply impressions from the day. So much so that one can claim our lunches offer the rewards characteristic of a symposium.

The Cyprus Strollers is the only truly international club practicing hiking.  Time and again, we have counted over 10 nationalities on a single walk. The significance of this is that it helps turn your activity into an experience far from the ordinary in your weekly routine. You meet and communicate with people from different backgrounds, and that’s broadening horizons.

In the 20 seasons, we have cumulatively walked more than 3100 km, over 990 hours. In terms of distance, 3100 km is equivalent to walking from Nicosia to Paphos and back 11 times. Thank you to every member for your contributions!

We resume hiking on 5 October. Download the Activities Schedule here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-schedule/. For each Activity read, download and print a complete set of instructions here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/.
