Donkey Safari from Polis

Head off the beaten track and back in time with a donkey ride into the wild. You will wander through picturesque orange groves and quaint villages that appear almost untouched by modernity before reaching the remote Panayia tou Sindi Monastery. Admire the simple beauty of the monastery that has made it a top draw for photographers and religious pilgrims before continuing to the donkey farm. We’ll ride along dry river beds into the Cypriot ‘outback’, where you will almost feel like you are travelling back in time, passing old water mills, ancient bridges, crumbling chapels and deserted villages. In the horizon of this rugged and at time barren landscape you will see the remote 13th century Panayia tou Sindi Monastery (dedicated to Our Lady). You can alight from the donkey and wander around the haunting ruins and Orthodox chapel.

An old proverb says that 'a Cypriot donkey is worth more than a rich man's house' and you will see just why thanks to the ease with which the donkey traverses the landscape.

On arrival at the Donkey farm, you will be greeted in true Cypriot style. Sample the local firewater, Zivania, accompanied with halloumi cheese, olives and bread. Later on, tuck into a delicious barbecue and enjoy dancing and music with the friendly and lively staff. d mobility.
