Nicosia to Limassol

Hello from Cyprus Taste Tours! We're a friendly team of locals all with Cypriot heritage. A group of true foodies, our activities focus on discovering Cyprus through food & wine... You’ll be taken into the Troodos mountains to visit 3 carefully selected wineries. Each award-winning winery you'll visit will give you the chance to meet the individuals behind the wine-making and have all your questions answered on this brilliant small group excursion. While driving through the Troodos hills we'll also visit the traditional village of Omodos for a delicious lunch and time to explore! • Learn about the process & history of Cyprus wine • Discover the indigenous grape varieties of the island • Selection of whites, rosés, reds & the celebrated sweet wine Commandaria • Includes an authentic meze lunch with drinks at a traditional taverna • Scenic drive through the mountain villages with stop in Omodos • No need to worry about who'll be the sober driver - door-to-door transport provided!

Phivos Ioannides, who would be guiding the trip and the walks, is a world traveller with extensive studies, wide business and other experiences. He is involved for many years in the sector of authentic ecotourism in Cyprus and is the author of a relevant guide book (with the title 'Exploring Authentic Cyprus'). He is a Greek Cypriot and specialises on guided walking trips. Our transportation (Citroen C8 MPV) can take upto six adult passengers and a driver. We keep groups small, in order to offer a more personalised service. The combination of the two trails offers a rich experience over a considerably elevation range in Cyprus: Usually excellent vistas at high elevation, juniper, black pine and barren rock Artemis, and coolness at lush Caledonia Waterfalls trail.

A very good combination of Cyprus nature (especially Paphos Forest, vineyards, Diarizos Valley), together with the island's cultural heritage (a traditional village, an old press, a medieval bridge, a historic monastery).

The experience presents the traveller with two very authentic attractions in rural, semi-mountainous Cyprus. Both are highly recommended for those who want to experience the island's rich cultural heritage. The short walk next to the stream in Kakopetria adds a small natural component to the trip. Depending on time availability, there are different activities that can be included (eg a meal at Kakopetria). It should be noted that Agios NIcolaos tis Stegis is closed on Mondays. In this case we can visit another one of the ten Unesco World Heritage Troodos painted churches if the customers wish to.

Discover several of Cyprus’ major landmarks—and enjoy a flexible way to explore—when you book this private sightseeing tour. Meet in the morning at your Limassol or Nicosia hotel (or elsewhere), and pick between three tour durations. You’ll explore the UNESCO-listed Church of St. Nicholas of the Roof (which dates to the 11th century, and is famed for its vivid frescoes) and tour the village of Kakopetria. If time allows, you can also enjoy a local lunch, hike in the Troodos Mountains, visit additional Byzantine churches, and more.

Participants have the opportunity to explore Paphos Forest, in an adventure that includes travelling on modern electric scooters and walking in Cedar Valley, the homeland of Cyprus endemic cedar. It combines two extraordinary experiences, hard to beat on the island. If we have time at the end, we can stop at other important attractions on the island, including Kykkos monastery and/or one of the ten Unesco World Heritage Troodos painted churches.
