Itinerary
1
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.

2
Kykkos Monastery - Panagia tou Kykkou
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.
40 minutes
3
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.
40 minutes

Troodos Mountains
Settle into a cosy mountain restaurant and savor a well-deserved break — traditional Cypriot flavors, crisp mountain air, and breathtaking Troodos views make this the most relaxing lunch.
1 hour and 10 minutes
5
Lambouri Winery
Perched in the tranquil hills above Platres, Lambouri Winery is a place where every glass tells a story thousands of years in the making. This extraordinary estate holds a distinction unlike any other — the only winery in the world permitted to produce kosher wine outside of Israel, reviving the ancient Ya'in Kafrisin tradition. Sip legendary Commandaria, fiery Zivania, and award-winning local wines as the mountain air and peaceful surroundings make every tasting moment truly unforgettable.
30 minutes
6
Petra tou Romiou (Aphrodite's Rock)
As the day draws to a close, your journey home takes you past one of the most iconic and breathtaking spots on the entire island — Petra tou Romiou, the legendary Birthplace of Aphrodite. Ancient rocks rise dramatically from the foaming turquoise sea, the coastline stretches endlessly in both directions, and the golden afternoon light transforms everything into something almost impossibly beautiful. The perfect final memory of an extraordinary day in the mountains of Cyprus.
