Detailed itinerary

Enjoy a peaceful walk through one of Cyprus’s most beautiful nature trails, surrounded by pine trees, fresh scents, and birdsong. The path leads to a stunning waterfall tucked away in the mountains—perfect for photos, a quiet moment, or simply taking in the scenery. It’s a gentle, refreshing break from the usual sights, and a chance to reconnect with nature in a truly local way.

Wander through a traditional mountain village where time seems to slow down. You’ll explore narrow stone-paved lanes, admire beautifully restored houses, and discover hidden corners filled with charm and history. Along the way, you’ll get a feel for daily village life, meet friendly locals, and perhaps even spot a few handmade goods or local treats. It’s a relaxed, authentic experience that shows you the quieter side of Cyprus.

Settle in for a long, relaxed lunch at a family-run village taverna, where you'll be treated to a traditional Cyprus meze. This is no ordinary meal—it’s a slow, social feast of small plates, bursting with local flavour. From grilled halloumi and fresh salads to seasonal dips, village bread, and slow-cooked meat dishes, you'll get a true taste of Cyprus. Vegetarian options are always available, and everything is made with love and local ingredients.

Stop 4

Our final stop is the stunning village of Omodos, nestled among the vineyards of the Troodos mountains. You’ll enjoy a traditional Cyprus coffee in the peaceful village square, surrounded by old stone buildings and artisan shops. While here, you’ll also have time to visit the historic Monastery of the Holy Cross, one of the oldest and most significant monasteries in Cyprus. Take a moment to explore its tranquil courtyard, local legends, and spiritual charm before we begin our return to Limassol.

On our way back, we’ll make a short but meaningful stop at the ruins of the Monastery of Timios Stavros, located just outside Anogyra village. Though only parts of the 14th-century structure remain, the site offers a peaceful and atmospheric glimpse into Cyprus’s medieval monastic life. Surrounded by wild countryside and steeped in history, it’s a serene spot to pause, reflect, and take in the views before returning to Limassol.
