About this activity

Set off on an unforgettable full-day Troodos Mountains tour from Paphos — a perfect blend of breathtaking nature, ancient spirituality, and authentic Cypriot flavours.

Your journey winds through the stunning Troodos Mountains, blanketed in lush pine forests and crisp mountain air. First stop is charming Omodos village, where cobblestone streets lead to the historic 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.

The day ends at a traditional Cypriot winery — savour the legendary Commandaria, fiery Zivania, and fine local wines.

Itinerary

Omodos

40 min

Tucked into the folds of the Troodos Mountains, Omodos is a village where time moves at its own gentle pace. Ancient stone alleys wind past traditional wine cellars and craft workshops, leading to the heart of the village — the venerable Timios Stavros Monastery, one of Cyprus's oldest and most sacred religious sites, home to a precious relic of the Holy Cross.
Kykkos Monastery

40 min

Perched high in the Troodos Mountains amid fragrant pine forests, Kykkos Monastery is the crown jewel of Cyprus' spiritual heritage. Founded in the 11th century, this magnificent monastery houses the most revered treasure on the island — the miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary, believed to have been painted by St. Luke himself. A place where history, faith, and breathtaking mountain scenery converge in perfect harmony.

A profoundly moving and quietly beautiful place — where history, faith, and nature meet in perfect silence.
