Description

Embark on a serene and scenic journey through the heart of Cyprus, beginning with a peaceful drive into the lush Pafos Forest. Your first stop is the beautiful Chrysorrogiatissa Monastery, perched on a hillside with sweeping views and a sense of timeless tranquility. Known for its sacred icons and monastic wine, it offers a perfect start to your day of discovery. Continue your ascent into the mountains as the road winds through dense pine forests and rugged peaks, guiding you to the majestic Kykkos Monastery. One of the island’s most revered spiritual sites, Kykkos is a masterpiece of Cypriot religious art, adorned with golden icons, detailed frescoes, and intricate woodwork. Just a short distance further lies the Tomb of Archbishop Makarios III, a peaceful site on Throni Hill with panoramic views that stretch across the mountains and forested valleys. From there, enjoy a scenic drive through the Troodos mountain range, a route filled with crisp air, panoramic viewpoints, and charming stone villages nestled into the hillsides. The final stop is the picturesque village of Omodos—famous for its vineyards, traditional architecture, and vibrant artisanal culture. Wander its cobbled streets, visit the historic Timios Stavros Monastery, and explore shops filled with local wines, handmade lace, and homemade delicacies. This tour is a harmonious blend of spiritual heritage, natural beauty, and authentic Cypriot tradition—an unforgettable journey into the soul of the island.
