We had a great tour of Kourion with Savvas - he is extremely knowledgeable and gave us a very interesting and passionate description of the Kourion site. He brought everything to life and managed to keep all of us, including our 11 and 13 year olds fully engaged!

I would like to thank you for your excellent comments of my guiding services I indeed had a wonderful time with you. My best wishes and love to Sophia and Ektoras
Savas was an excellent guide. We started out on a walking tour, but when we became too hot and tired he switched to an amazing trip up in to the mountains. He brought us to a lovely monastery which had a beautiful Orthodox Church. He explained the artwork in the church in great detail. He spoke English very well and answered our questions. Highly recommend.
