Luxury Tour - Kykkos

It may be difficult to see the whole Troodos with its volcanic peaks and pine forests in one day, but we have designed an exclusive itinerary that includes all the major sites and allows you to experience all the different aspects of the Troodos mountains, in one action-packed sightseeing excursion.

Step aboard our air-conditioned mini-bus for a magic journey to these unforgettable destinations:

Lefkara Village: Positioned right on the edge of the eastern Troodos, this village features narrow streets, newly restored stone architecture, small coffeeshops and great shopping opportunities for traditional handicrafts such as silver jewelry and the world famous “Lefkaritika” (hand-embroidered lace).

Passing alongside numerous small villages, our journey continues northwards through the outskirts of Lefkosia, the divided capital of Cyprus, and up into the elevated foothills of the Troodos Mts. We climb to elevations above the clouds to reach the highest point in Cyprus, Mt Olympus, for fantastic views over Morphou Bay, the Kormakiti Peninsula, the Mesoria plain and the Kyrenia Mts.

The world-renowned Kykko Monastery, not only the richest (golden mosaics, ancient icons, various religious relics), but also the largest and most prestigious active monastery in Cyprus. Don’t miss the famous icon of Panayia Eleousa (Most Merciful Virgin Mary), painted by St Luke and believed “to produce miracles.”

A giant natural waterfall, where ice-cold spring-fed mountain waters cascade over hard volcanic cliffs year-round.

A traditional village winery for free wine tasting and an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the whole wine-making process. On this tour, you will see and experience more of Cyprus in one day than many average tourists do in a week!

Strongly suggested: Modest dressing is required when visiting monasteries and churches, i.e. no shorts and low-cut tops.

Paphos - Kourion

Today will be spent discovering the legends and history of one of the most beautiful parts of Cyprus. Our first stop on the route to Paphos will be at the ancient city of Kourion, an impressive, unspoiled site perched high on the cliff top.

Admire the famous Greco-Roman theatre and mosaics, and enjoy the dazzling view.

Our next stop will be at Aphrodite’s Rock. According to legend, the Goddess of Love and Beauty was born from the foam of the sea at this spot. Then join us and discover the remarkable history of Paphos. UNESCO World Heritage has added the entire town of Paphos to its World Cultural Heritage List. In “Kato” Paphos we will visit the catacombs of St. Solomoni and see the Pillar of St. Paul.

Then we will visit the house of Dionysos, and admire a series of beautifully preserved mosaics depicting scenes from the Greek Mythology. Ample time will be given for lunch.

Finally, on our return we pass the 9th century Basilica of Ayia Paraskevi and we will stop at Yeroskipou Village to sample the famous Paphos Delights ‘Loukoumia’.
