What to expect

A chance to explore the rustic side of Cyprus. On this family-friendly tour, you'll discover the remote Xeros valley on the back of a donkey. Pass through picturesque orange groves and quaint villages as you and your trusted donkey amble to the historic Sinti Monastery. You'll also taste local specialities and enjoy a performance of traditional music and dancing.

Your laid-back adventure kicks off at Argonaftis donkey farm in Kelokedara. Here, you'll experience Cypriot hospitality at its best. Savour local favourites, including halloumi cheese and – if you're brave enough – zivania fire-water.

After instruction, you'll hop on to your donkey and head slowly – or ‘siga, siga' as the locals say – up the Xeros valley to the 16th century Sinti Monastery. The complex fell into disrepair and abandonment but is back to its original best after an award-winning restoration. Then, back at the farm, you'll round off the experience with a barbecue meal, washed down with wine. There'll be traditional music and dancing, too.

    Good price for whole experience. However, As the kids were over 12 but under 18, the free drinks could have included a fruit juice so they could have more than water to drink without paying extra.
