Leave Limassol behind and lose yourself in the breathtaking landscapes of the Troodos Mountains on this exclusive private full-day tour crafted entirely around you. Your journey begins in charming Omodos village, where cobblestone streets lead to the venerable Timios Stavros Monastery — home to a sacred relic of the Holy Cross. Winding higher through Pedoulas and Prodromos, you'll arrive at the magnificent Kykkos Monastery — founded in the 11th century and home to the sacred icon of the Virgin Mary, believed to have been painted by St. Luke himself. Nearby on Mount Throni lies the Tomb of Archbishop Makarios III — with sweeping panoramic views stretching across the entire island. Stop at a traditional Cypriot winery to savour legendary Commandaria, fiery Zivania, and fine local wines. On the way back, pause at the legendary Birthplace of Aphrodite — where the goddess of love rose from the sea foam at the most breathtaking stretch of the Cyprus coastline.
