Stop At: Kykkos Monastery (Panagia tou Kykkou), Pedoulas, Nicosia District
Kykkos, one of the holiest and richest monasteries in Cyprus. It is here that the first President of Cyprus, Archbishop Makarios became a young monk, and was later buried according to his wishes. Among the most important treasures of the monastery is the icon of the “Virgin Mary”, which was reputedly painted by the Apostle Luke himself. We will also be able to see many religious relics of other saints.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Omodos Village, Limassol, Limassol District
Our final stop is at Omodos, a beautiful village located in the famous wine-producing area of Afames, in the Limassol district. We will walk through the cobbled streets to the village square which is lined with cafes and shops selling local produce. We will visit the monastery of the Holy Cross, which houses a piece of the rope used by the Romans to fasten Jesus to the cross, and see the old wine press, glass makers and other craftsmen. There will be time to have a coffee or try the unique dessert wine ‘commandaria’ and the local spirit called ‘zivania’.

Completed a day trip from Paphos..Transport was comfortable and guide was excellent. Comprehensive and we'll narrated. Recommended highly.
A very enjoyable day out in the Troodos Mountains. The guide, although originally from Finland, was very knowledgable and easy to listen to. The driver made the task of navigating the meandering roads look very easy.
Prior communication about the tour, pick up points etc was good and clear. Overall it was well organised. The guide was really knowledgeable about the area and about ancient and more current history and this really made the tour. It's a beautiful part of Cyprus to visit.
nice relaxing journey good views ,nice meal stop not included
