I stayed in Tochni villages in Cyprus couple of weeks ago. I'm into yoga, so handily, they are offering private yoga classes with a local teacher, Sylvia Braun. Those who like yoga, it's a great experience - you get to practice in a picturesque environment with a very experienced teacher who tailors the practice according to your needs. I'm not a beginner so my classes were pretty advanced, but another person staying there was a total beginner and found the teacher to be very attentive. The accommodation was very comfortable, traditional houses. And I love Cyprus food (half-board included in the package). They have vegetarian options which was good for me. The beach is not accessible by foot but you can drive there. You can also do horse riding, hiking. Peace and quiet, beautiful people.
