What Your Day Looks Like
Aphrodite’s Rock (15 min). A photo stop at the coastal rock formation where, according to legend, the Greek goddess of love and beauty was born from the sea foam.
Lofou village (1 hour). Wander the narrow streets of this beautifully preserved stone village. Taste fresh halloumi cheese and sip a traditional Cyprus coffee in a local cafe.
Omodos (2 hours). A picturesque village in the Afames wine region, with a cobbled square, craft shops, and the monastery of Timios Stavros nearby. Free time to explore and have lunch.
Timios Stavros Monastery (30 min). One of the oldest and most historic monasteries on the island. Modest dress is required, and robes are provided if needed.
Millomeris Waterfall (30 min). A short walk to the highest and most beautiful waterfall in Cyprus, tucked into the pine forest.
Winery wine tasting (40 min). Taste local Cypriot wines at a traditional family winery, often including the region’s unusual varieties. Reviewers consistently call the wine tasting a highlight.
Before You Book
- Some walking involved. The villages, the monastery, and especially the waterfall involve walking on uneven ground and steps. It’s manageable for most, but if you have serious mobility issues, consider this carefully. Not wheelchair accessible.
- Wear proper shoes. Trainers or walking shoes are recommended, especially for the waterfall path.
- Dress for the monastery. Shoulders and knees should be covered to enter Timios Stavros. Robes are available if you need one.
- Lunch timing. On some departures, lunch comes after the wine tasting. A few reviewers felt full from the wine and bread by then, so pace yourself if you want to enjoy the taverna lunch.
- It’s a driving day. As a mountain tour, a fair amount of time is spent on the bus between stops. The scenery makes up for it, but know that going in.
- Bring layers. The mountains are cooler than the coast, a welcome break from the summer heat, but bring a light layer.
- Book ahead. Averaged 17 days in advance.
- Cancellation: free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.
