World’s 1st living Christmas tree with eco-friendly decoration – Governor’s 14 Dec.

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.

Joyous in Rain – Pezounokremos 6 Dec.

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/

Blessed Rain – Spilia 30 Nov.

In a country struck by continuous heat waves for 4 months over June – September, and a severe drop in rainfall since, it would feel ungrateful to utter a moan about the rain that accompanied our hike at Spilia on 30 Nov. We enjoyed the day, just as we do other outings. Compliments to Victor for leading the activity and to Nicos for the photos. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/selladi-karamanli-pezounokremos-2-hikes-sat-6-dec/ and choose the Christmas tree decoration you will bring to participate in our Christmas event next https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/governors-coast-sunday-14-dec/

 

Xistarouda Winners – 23 Nov.

The club took on the challenge of a difficult hike near Kykkos on 23 November. Assisted by the shade, everybody managed their length in good spirit, evident around the rewarding lunch table. Compliments to Anna, Elena, Petros and Nicoletta for the photos. Missed this one? There are another 4 events to conclude 2025.

It’s the Calibre of the People – Platania 15 Nov.

It’s not the long hours, it’s not the numbers. What makes this Club stand apart is the calibre of our members; as evidenced once more at Platania on 15 November, when we welcomed regulars, persons in Cyprus for a few days, and newcomers, and all blended cheerfully with humour in one team. Compliments to Monika, Stephania, Myria, Elena and Petros for the photos. Missed this one? There are another 5 activities scheduled for this season. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/kykkos-xistarouda-shortened-sunday-23-nov/

For the love of small villages – Lazanias 9 Nov.

There are some tiny and largely abandoned villages that present themselves like jewels to the Strollers who include them in their itinerary. Such was the case of Lazanias on 9 November, adding an extra sparkle to our day. A rumour that the village created the dish that the Venetian conquerors of Cyprus loved and adopted, spreading lasagne to the world, remains unchecked. Compliments to Victor for leading the activity and to Nicoletta for the photos. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/platania-mnimata-piskopon-sat-15-nov/

Life in Superlative – Troodos 1 Nov.

Everyone aspires to a special day. With the Cyprus Strollers this is closer than you may think. It may consist of a day’s forest escape and a very rich lunch reward, with spirited conversations. Such as the delight experienced on 1 Nov. at Troodos, in the company of regulars and persons visiting Cyprus for just a few days, who chose to join us! Compliments to Alessandro for the photos. Missed this one? There’s another 7 scheduled this season. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/mahairas-lazanias-and-fikardou-sunday-9-nov/

To Bring out the Best in your Children, join The Cyprus Strollers

The hikes of 26 October offered one more proof that no hiking club can treat your children more tactfully and graciously. A small sample is displayed in these photos (compliments to Nicole for them), of children embracing a 500+ years old Juniper tree at Almyrolivado. Join us!

Our Schoolchildren made us Proud – Troodos 26 Oct.

A very large gathering of Strollers, of all age groups and 11 nationalities walked cheerfully the 2 hikes on Troodos on 26 October. Attention focused on the schoolchildren, who won our applause, and equally on the parents who showed them that life is more entertaining in nature. Compliments to Nicoletta for the photos.

2 Waterfalls to Fall in Love with – Platres 18 Oct.

One village featuring 2 waterfalls attracted a lovely gathering of Strollers on 18 October; the weather was optimal, and the spirits rose high, as evidenced by the quality of conversations during hiking and over lunch. Compliments to Gunnar for leading the activity and to Petros, Elena and Franco for the photos. Missed this one? There’s another 9 outings coming up.
