Cyprus · SELF-GUIDED TOURS
Good self-guided tours fill up weeks ahead in high summer; the great ones go first. Below: the 3 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Solve Sherlock Holmes style puzzles in Paphos on your phone, following clues to a murder of Balthasar. Self-guided, easy, about 2 hours.
“Chasing the bar tender whilst our phone battery was running out! Interesting to see the back streets of Paphos away from the tourist trails.”
Walk Kourion’s main ruins with GPS-triggered audio on your phone, from Eustolios’ mosaics to the amphitheater, for $14.99.
“A very large site with lots to see. Some of it was closed today as the roof protecting it was being repaired. However we still saw lots including the amphitheatre which faces out to sea.”
Solve a Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in self-guided Larnaca with phone puzzles, codes, and photo tasks for up to 4, about 2 hours.
“Nice to walk through streets you wouldn't come. The concept of the game was good, but sometimes it was too easy.”
Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
