Overview

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.

Omodos

Time slows down in Omodos — a timeless mountain village where cobblestone alleys wind between ancient stone houses, traditional wine cellars, and tiny craft workshops. At the very heart of village life stands the venerable Timios Stavros Monastery, guardian of a sacred relic of the Holy Cross that has drawn pilgrims to these quiet hills for centuries. A place that feels wonderfully, authentically unchanged.

Kykkos Monastery

Rising majestically from the heart of the Troodos Mountains, Kykkos Monastery has stood as the spiritual crown of Cyprus since the 11th century. Behind its ornate golden walls lies the island's most sacred treasure — the miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary, said to have been painted by St. Luke himself and never once unveiled to human eyes. A place where faith, history, and mountain grandeur create something truly extraordinary.

Archbishop Makarios III Tomb

Standing sentinel above the clouds on Mount Throni, the Tomb of Archbishop Makarios III commands one of the most breathtaking panoramas in all of Cyprus. The final resting place of the island's founding president, spiritual leader, and national hero feels both deeply moving and quietly magnificent — pine forests stretching endlessly below, the Troodos Mountains rising all around, and a profound stillness that speaks louder than any words.
