All these must bear the character and the traditional environment of the community. Eco-tourism offers to the local and foreign tourists the opportunity of spending their holidays close to nature and close to the simple and hospitable people of Cyprus's countryside, becoming familiar with their manners and customs, and the traditional architectural character, trying out the traditional Cypriot cuisine and local products, and admiring the various items of folkloric tradition and craft.

In these reconditioned lodgings the tourist will immediately find a warm atmosphere that will remain unforgettable. At the same time, he/she will experience many pleasant surprises out in the wild through walks in the verdant trails, visits to historic monasteries and archaeological sites, and -generally -through the uniqueness offered by the villages of Cyprus.
