Highly recommended! - We had an amazing time with the Cypriot Flaneur, a professional photographer who specializes in capturing couples in beautiful Cypriot scenery. He took us to fantastic photo spots and advised us on the best times to shoot to avoid the hot sun. He also gave us great tips about Cyprus and had pleasant conversations with us. His professionalism and friendly personality made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommended for a unique photography adventure in Cyprus. (Reviewed at: 2024-06-07)
