Itinerary

Day 1: Larnaca city tour and visit to Lefkara village with Loukoumi tasting

City tour Larnaca by bus. Travel around Larnaca, discovering the city’s attractions – from the Pierides Museum to the Winged Lion of Venice and other highlights. Your tour will continue to the medieval Castle of Larnaca, and the picturesque Kamares Aqueduct. But the highlight of this tour will be your visit to the Saint Lazarus Church. The building is believed to be erected upon the second tomb of the famous Biblical character and is, therefore, highly revered.

Lunch: You will have lunch at the restaurant.

Day 2: Mountain villages of Troodos and wine tasting

Visit the Heart of Cyprus - mountain villages. Explore the centuries-old villages, breathtaking nature, and Medieval monasteries of the Troodos Mountains. Stunning views of the highland will unfold before your eyes as you walk to the Omodos Village. Once there, you will amble along the cobbled streets all the way to the renowned Holy Cross Monastery. Cyprus's oldest, monastery will charm you with its arched galleries and rough stone walls.

Lunch: Lunch at the restaurant

Day 3: Visit to Paphos

Grasp the spirit of ancient history by visiting the archaeological attractions of Paphos. Your journey will begin at the Rock of Aphrodite, a large Jurassic-era coral limestone. It is believed to mark the place where the goddess of love, once widely worshiped in Cyprus, was born from the sea foam.

Lunch: Lunch at the restaurant, sea food meze

Day 4: Visit to Nicosia

Visit to Nicosia - the divided capital. Nicosia is famously split between the Republic of Cyprus (the Greek part) and the Republic of Northern Cyprus, recognized only by Turkey. And you will see the best of each part. You will make a journey into history in the Cyprus Museum, the largest and oldest archaeological museum on the island. The journey will take you further, to the Archbishop’s Palace, where an impressive collection of religious icons awaits your admiration.

Lunch: Lunch at the restaurant, sea food meze

Day 5: Visit to the Northern Cyprus

Find out how the development of the Turkish Cypriot Republic changed one of the island's historically rich neighborhoods: Famagusta. Your journey will begin at the foot of Othello Castle built in the 14th century. With a little imagination, the events of Shakespeare’s famous play, which unfolded in a harbor town of Cyprus, will come alive in your mind. You will go on to contemplate the Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque. Founded in the 13th century, this so-called "Reims of Cyprus" presents an example of Gothic architecture marked by war, natural disasters and religious conversion.

Lunch: Lunch at traditional tavern
