Cyprus Mountaineering Adventures
THE COUNTRYSIDE CODE
LIGHTING FIRES IS FORBIDDEN
Dry leaves and pine needles catch fire very easily. A forest fire can spread extremely quickly, destroying trees and plants, which will take decades to recover. This is especially important to remember during Cyprus trekking adventures where the natural beauty is paramount.
PROTECT THE FLORA AND THE FAUNA
It is forbidden to pick wild flowers, especially Orchids, which are legally protected. Try not to disturb the wild animals while enjoying activities like rock scrambling. Beware of snakes! Only the brownish Blunt-nosed Viper is dangerous, but it is usually a shy creature. Common Black snakes and lizards are harmless.
PLEASE DO NOT DROP RUBBISH
Take it ALL home with you. Respect the clean countryside we encounter during our walking tours. We will carry a spare rubbish bag to collect as much rubbish left by thoughtless others on the mountain.
PLEASE BE QUIET
One of the main beauties of the mountains is the silent and peaceful atmosphere. Do not spoil this for others by being too noisy!
IF YOU ARE LOST
Don't panic! Go to the last place you were together with your friends and wait. DO NOT try to go off alone. Use your mobile telephone to call the guide in charge.
