Cyprus is an island of contrasts with rolling hills housing pretty villages and history infusing their streets and squares. Join this six-day comprehensive tour starting from the cosmopolitan Limassol, brimming with unique energy. Explore the Limassol region, visit Kourion archaeological sites and taste exclusive Cypriot wines. 

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

Limassol: Discover the must-see of this area – a visit to the Kourion Archaeological Site, a wine tasting in a local winery to sample traditional Cypriot wine and a visit to the picturesque village of Omodos.

Nicosia: Nicosia is the largest town of Cyprus and has been the capital of the island since medieval times (11th century AD). The history of the city is interesting and adventurous and the place itself is of great character, circled by old city walls and crisscrossed by twisting teeming streets.

Day 1: ARRIVAL PAPHOS OR LARNACA – LIMASSOL (60km – 45min)

Upon landing at Paphos or Larnaca Airport, head to the Arrivals hall where you will find a representative waiting for you. You will then be transferred to your hotel, where you can settle in before spending the rest of this first day at your leisure.

Overnight in Limassol.

Day 2: LIMASSOL – KOURION, KOLOSSI, OMODOS & WINE FULL DAY TOUR – LIMASSOL (100km – 2hrs)


Enjoy a delightful breakfast at the hotel before today's tour. Cyprus is all rolling hills dotted with pretty villages. On this small group tour, you'll see where a legend was born, visit the ruins of Kourion, venture to the village of Omodos and cap off the day with a wine tasting. You'll dive straight into the past at Kourion, one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Cyprus. Visit the Roman baths and amble into the site's centrepiece, the Greco-Roman theatre where concerts are still held to this day. Explore the mosaics of the trio of excavated houses known as those of Eustolius, the Gladiators and Achilles as impressive as when they were laid down. The 15th-century Kolossi Castle is up next. This steeped-in-legend Crusader-built fortress is nowadays surrounded by blooming plants. Then, we'll head to mountain-fringed Omodos, where you'll enjoy a local lunch in a family-run taverna and have free time to wander around skinny cobbled streets lined with Byzantine buildings enjoying the tranquillity and peacefulness. Next, there's a winery tour, where you'll learn all about sweet commandaria wine – one of the oldest varieties in the world before returning to the hotel.


Overnight in Limassol.

Day 3: LIMASSOL – SOUTHERN NICOSIA – LIMASSOL (170km – 2hrs)

Have breakfast at the hotel before today's tour of Southern Nicosia, the last divided capital in the world. Your first stop is St John's Cathedral, built in the Franco-Byzantine style unique to Cyprus, with a simple brick exterior. The inside, however, tells a completely different story, with its ornate chandeliers and gilded woodwork showing off 18th-century Cypriot craftsmanship. Afterwards, you'll visit the Cyprus Folk Art Museum, housed in the old Archbishopric Palace. Next, you'll enter the Venetian city walls to stroll through Laiki Geitonia. Here, you can get a feel for the old Nicosia as you tour the winding streets – you'll feel like you're visiting a little village rather than the heart of a city as you pass by all the traditionally restored houses. Stroll along with your guide and listen to tales of the city's history before some free time to have lunch and wander around the shops on Ledra Street – named after the ancient kingdom of Ledra, which was located where Nicosia now stands.


Overnight in Limassol.

Day 4: LIMASSOL

Wake up to a tasty breakfast at your hotel and get ready for a day at leisure.

Overnight in Limassol.

Day 5: LIMASSOL – TROODOS MOUNTAINS 4x4 – LIMASSOL (100km – 2hrs)

Spend the day travelling through the forested Troodos Mountains and discover some of Cyprus' wildest landscapes on this 4x4 tour. See vineyards, waterfalls, mountain villages like Lefkara, pine forests and more. Start with the impressive Dipotamos Dam for a photo stop. Then, it's on to the sleepy mountain village of Lefkara, renowned for its intricately-made lace and silverware. We'll go a bit off-piste into Mesa Potamos Forest where you can take part in an optional hike too. Once you've built up an appetite, a meze-style lunch will be served in a village taverna. Then, we'll head to a beautiful forest waterfall with ice-cold water cascading down 20m. There'll also be a stop for some wine-tasting, followed by a visit to Tochni village, where you can walk through narrow streets and try a Cypriot coffee in a local ‘kafenion'. A refreshing end to an action-packed day.

Overnight in Limassol.

Day 6: LIMASSOL – DEPARTURE PAPHOS OR LARNACA (60km – 45min)

After one last breakfast at your hotel, bid farewell to Cyprus as you hop onto a comfortable transfer to Paphos or Larnaca International Airport, where you will catch your flight to your following destination. We hope the memories of this trip will stay with you for a lifetime – have a safe journey!

Comfortable and light clothing is the most suitable for travelling in Cyprus. Visitors should not wear sleeveless shirts, shorts, short skirts or skimpy clothing when visiting religious or official buildings. Sun protection, sunglasses, a hat and mosquito repellent can be very useful during your stay.
