Who We Are

TryCyprus is run by a Cyprus-based team that has spent years working right across the island — scouting locations for film and advert shoots, and running games and events from the coast to the mountains. We pair that local knowledge with careful research so you can plan a trip that lives up to the island.

Our story

It started with location fixing — being the people a film or advert production calls when they need the perfect cove, the right mountain village, or a local who can make things happen. That work took us into every corner of Cyprus.

In 2015 we opened ClueJob, the first escape room in Cyprus — it earned a 5-star rating and a TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice award. That grew into GAMESTERY, which has run 300+ team-building events, games and challenges across the island, and SmileTrails, our hiking and trail guides. TryCyprus is the next step — bringing everything we have learned about Cyprus into one place.

What we do

Practical guides
Clear, current guides to the beaches, regions, food and getting around — the things you actually need to plan a trip.
Easy planning & booking
Where to stay, how to get around and what to book, with trusted partners so it is simple to sort in one place.
Real experiences
Escape games, team challenges and quests we run ourselves across the island through GAMESTERY and SmileTrails.

Why trust us

We are locals with real skin in the game — we run businesses and experiences on this island, so we care about getting it right. We keep our guides current and keep improving them, because a tip that was true five years ago helps no one today.
