Luxury Grand 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, every Monday 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 coffee shops 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!

"Going Green" Experience
A trip every Tuesday that takes you deep inside the Troodos Forests to see off-the-beaten track destinations and wilderness areas seldom visited by average tourists. It’s a day filled with spectacular landscapes, little known cultural and nature monuments, clean rivers, pristine air, birds, flowers, trees, rocks, soils, cliffs, fields, orchards, vineyards and lots of fun and adventure.
There’s a chance to do some light trekking in cool, shaded mountain forests and to swim in unique settings you will never forget! We top it all off with great local food and probably the best wine in Cyprus. Here are the specifics:
• We stop at Aphrodite’s Rock. According to legend, the Goddess of Love and Beauty was born from the foam of the sea at this spot.
• We journey deep inside the Paphos hinterland to visit Pano Panayia, the home village of Cyprus’ most famous modern historical figure, Archbishop Markarios III. Then we move on to the nearby Khrysoroyiatissa Monastery, often described as “the most quaint and picturesque monastery on the island. Visit the famous church and newly-built Museum, and perhaps observe some modern iconpainting that sometimes occurs here.
• Into the deep Paphos Forest we go! We take the road less traveled to reach what may be the most serene and majestic spot in the Troodos Mts., Cedar Valley. You can experience the magic of Cyprus’ largest endemic tree, the Cyprus Cedar (cedrus brevifolia). Enjoy a short walk and breathe in the cleanest air on the island!
• The world-renowned Kykko Monastery, the richest, 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.
• Trek to Platis: A non-strenuous, yet satisfying mini-trek along well-shaded forest tracks through virgin stands of pine. On rare occasions, the elusive Cyprus Moufflon has been sighted in this area. (This is an optional 30-min walk)
• Kelephos Bridge: This second bridge dates to the Venetian period and spans the source area of the Dhiarizos (“Two Roots”) river. Sometimes wild trout can be seen in the clear waters beneath the bridge.
• Omodhos Village: We end the day with a stop at this quintessential Cypriot village, famous for it’s narrow streets, stone architecture, and the Timios Stavros Monastery. Ample time for wine tasting, a stroll through village streets, or a quick shopping session.

Surf & Turf Akamas
Here’s a combination Land / Sea tour featuring a full day of adventurous sightseeing across western Cyprus’ wild coastal frontier, the Akamas Peninsula.
Get ready every Wednesday for non-stop thrills, some light trekking, lots of swimming and tons of fun and “chill-out” time as we slowly wind our way through forests, canyons, waterfalls and deserted beaches.We’ll see:
The Adonis Baths: a fantastic 10m waterfall with cool, fresh water plunge pools for a real “Escape-the-Heat” experience. You can walk into the clear, cold waters or jump into the natural pools from numerous rocky ledges. This maybe the most enchanting place in Cyprus.
The Baths of Aphrodite: the legendary fresh water pool, where some believe Aphrodite bathed in ancient times, awaits your inspection. You can splash the cold, clear spring water on your face to see if anything positive happens; or just wash off the sweat and salt.
Fontana Amorosa and the Akamas’ NW Tip: the incredibly clear, turquoise waters, precipitous forested sea cliffs, and varied wildlife create a magic landscape with huge visual impact. By glass-bottom boat we tour the various coves and off-shore islands, look for sea turtles and sponges, and stop at the “bluest bay in Cyprus” for a relaxed swimming/snorkeling session
