Day Excursion to Troodos, Kykkos + Omodos
We will collect you from your accommodation in Paphos to embark on this exciting adventure to Troodos, Kykkos, and Omodos. Let's begin our journey!
Our first destination is the Troodos Mountains, where the beautiful Chrysorrogiatissa Monastery awaits. This historical site, with origins traced back to the 12th century, showcases stunning and distinctive architecture.
As we travel onward, enjoy the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Troodos range, dotted with vineyards that have been renowned for creating some of Cyprus's top white wines since the late 18th century, including the prominent Ayios Andronicos and Ayios Elias varieties. Keep your gaze sharp for glimpses of the tranquil Kannaviou dam in the valley below.
Our journey continues with a visit to Kykkos, traversing the beautiful Paphos forest. Upon arrival at the Kykkos Monastery, we will delve into its significant heritage. Here, we will also pay respects at the grave of Archbishop Makarios III, sharing insights into his impactful life and the importance of this site.
Next, we will head towards the Timios Stravos Monastery, famous for its towering 25-meter (82 feet) high cross, which provides sweeping views across the Marathassa Valley. You'll have some leisurely moments to relish your lunch and take in the beautiful scenery surrounding this scenic monastery.
Then, we'll proceed to Omodos. This part of our journey will take us through a delightful pine forest, passing by Prodromos, recognized as the highest village in Cyprus, and Platres, known for being particularly welcoming to tourists.
Upon reaching Omodos, we'll wander through charming cobblestone streets, ending in the main square filled with delightful cafes and local shops. Before wrapping up our visit, we will explore the Church of the Holy Cross.
