The Salonica View team invites you to a winter-festive hike along the coastline, from Sofroniou Coast (Governor's Coast) to the area of Saint Georgios Alamanos.
A few words about our excursion:
Departure in the morning from Nicosia (Cypriot Handicraft Center) to Governor's Coast. Before our hike, we will stop for a warm tahini pie & coffee at the Sigma bakery in Choirokitia. Immediately afterwards, we will move to Sofroniou Coast, where our hike along the coastline will begin. The route, with a total distance of 6–7 km, follows the impressive limestone formations and the coastal line, with open views of the sea. After our hike, we will go for dinner at the traditional Saint Anna tavern. At the end of the excursion there will be a gift exchange: Everyone brings a gift up to €5, where a raffle will be held among all participants. After lunch, we all depart together to return to Nicosia.
Secret Santa – Gift Exchange
- At the end of the meal, a Secret Santa-style Christmas gift exchange will take place.
- Each participant is invited to bring 1 small, wrapped gift worth up to €5.
