Solo traveller in Antalya, and ready for new adventures. This excursion was something I wasn’t expecting, so yes, I booked it right away. The tour operator was very good, friendly people and extremely professionals. We flew there and everything went well, excellent organization. We visited like 2 or 3 cities, and learnt many, many things about this island. I really like the little harbour in Kerynia. It’s just the right place for photos. The modern history of the island is extremely interesting, and our guide answered all of our questions. Even though I was travelling alone, the rest of the group were so nice, and we all enjoyed our time.
