Cyprus Highlights Experience

Once you have arrived at Paphos or Larnaca Airport, head to the Arrivals hall, where a representative will be waiting to meet you. You are then transferred to your accommodation in Limassol, around 60km and 45 minutes away, to settle in.

The rest of the day is yours to spend as you wish - a stroll along Limassol’s seafront is an easy way to get your bearings. You spend the night in Limassol.

After breakfast at the accommodation, we set out on a walking tour of Lefkara and Nicosia, covering around 170km and roughly 2 hours of driving. Following pickup, our first stop is the picturesque village of Lefkara, known across the island for its silver and lace handicrafts. There is plenty of opportunity to shop for pieces as our guide leads us through the village’s cobbled lanes.

From here, we drive to Nicosia and begin at Laiki Geitonia, a completely pedestrianised neighbourhood nestled inside 16th-century Venetian walls. Most of the houses here have been restored from the 18th century, and the stonework is well worth photographing.

Our guide then leads us through the checkpoint into the northern part of the city, where postcard-worthy landmarks include the Cathedral of Saint Sophia, Nicosia’s most important religious building. Over 700 years old, it was built as a cathedral but is now used as a mosque. We then return to Limassol for the night.

Please note: Pickup for the walking tour is from the Atlantica Bay Hotel in Limassol, so please make your own way there. The exact pickup time will be provided in your booking confirmation.

You can start the day with breakfast at the accommodation, followed by a free afternoon to explore Limassol - its old town is a good place to wander.

In the evening, we sample the Cypriot lifestyle with a special local experience. Set amid the countryside surroundings of a donkey sanctuary, we get hands-on making halloumi and baking bread, then tuck into the tasty results. As the sun sets, we sit down to a feast of local dishes with free-flowing drinks, followed by live music and Greek dancing under the stars. We spend the night in Limassol.

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your hotel before spending the day at your own pace in Limassol. Whether you choose to relax by the pool, explore the local shops and cafes, or simply soak up the atmosphere, today is yours to unwind and discover as you wish. Overnight in Limassol.

We begin the day with breakfast at the accommodation before a full-day tour of around 100km and roughly 2 hours of driving. Cyprus is all rolling hills dotted with pretty villages, and on this adults-only tour we discover where a legend was born, visit the ruins of Kourion, venture to the village of Omodos and cap off the day with a wine tasting.

We dive straight into the past at Kourion, one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Cyprus. We visit the Roman Baths, then wander into the site’s centrepiece, the Greco-Roman theatre, where concerts are still held today. Next, we explore the mosaics of the three excavated houses known as those of Eustolius, the Gladiators and Achilles, which look as impressive as when they were first laid.

From here, we stop for a local lunch in a family-run taverna before visiting the mountain-fringed village of Omodos, where we wander narrow cobbled streets lined with Byzantine buildings. Our final stop is a winery, where we learn all about sweet commandaria - one of the oldest wine varieties in the world - and enjoy a tasting before returning to Limassol for the night.

After breakfast at the hotel, you will be transferred to Paphos or Larnaca International Airport for your onward flight. We hope you leave Cyprus with lasting memories of your journey. Wishing you a safe and pleasant onward trip.
