A great tour around various local producers of Cypriate foods and wines produced in traditional ways. 6 of us and our guide Georgina had a memorable time touring about 6 places including a massive lunch. Donkey milk, careb, honey, halloumi, anari, slow cooked lamb and wines were part of that days tour. Apparently the places and foods change on each tour. I think the "blurb" undersells the tour significantly. More than 25 miles from Ayia Napa so not shown by default.

Excellent tour, all places visited were interesting in their own way. Bit disappointed in the wine tasting as quantity provided to taste was very small! The amount of food provided was much more than our group could eat. Driver / guide was excellent and kept us informed and entertained all day.

Der Tag war wunderbar und es war die beste Urlaubs-Tour, die wir bisher gebucht haben! Unsere Gruppe war mit Georgina unterwegs, die sehr sympathisch, herzlich und unterhaltsam ist. Sie hat stets sichergestellt, dass wir uns wohlfühlen und dass es uns an nichts mangelt. Tipps und Infos zu Land und Leute gab es ebenfalls. Die Stops waren sorgsam ausgewählt. Es gab tolle Produkte zum testen, die man auch ungezwungen erwerben konnte. Die besten Wünsche an Georgina wünschen Kathi und Eva
Ancient Kourion tour with Paphos Harbour visit
Cyprus is home to some hugely important ancient Greek and Roman sites. On this tour, you'll take in Aphrodite's Rock, ancient Paphos and the Tombs of the Kings, visit Kourion – and enjoy free time in the Paphos harbour area. Andreas, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The Tombs of the Kings offer us a valuable insight into ancient Mediterranean culture. There are very similar tombs in Alexandria, demonstrating the strong ties between the two cities in ancient times.'After a coffee pit-stop along the way, you'll stop by Kourion archaeological site to see landmarks such as the theatre – dating from the 2nd century BC – and the Agora. En route to Paphos, there's a photo stop at Petra tou Romiou – or Aphrodite's Rock – where, legend has it, the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty emerged from the sea foam. Andreas says, ‘At Kourion, you see the ruined house of Eustolios and find out what life was like here before the city was destroyed by an earthquake in the 4th century.'Next, we'll head to ancient Paphos for a guided visit of the Tombs of the Kings, the House of Dionysos and its well-preserved mosaics. Andreas says, ‘The rock-hewn Tombs of the Kings were not actually intended for royalty, but instead the aristocracy and island governors were laid to rest here. The name reflects the sheer grandeur of the necropolis.' Later, you'll enjoy some free time to shop and wander around Paphos Harbour. Maybe you can stroll along the waterfront or grab a bite to eat at one of the many terrace cafés.

Caledonia Waterfalls full-day tour with local guide and lunch
Trade the beach for the cool, shaded vibes of the Troodos Mountains – where nature's about to blow your mind. We're talking a three-kilometre hike, leading you to Caledonia Falls, one of Cyprus's tallest and most beautiful waterfalls, before heading to the village of Platres for a tasty, traditional lunch. Andi, one of our expert local guides, says, "You'll love the hike as much as the destination – it's like stepping into a fairytale, with cute little bridges crisscrossing along the stream all the way to the waterfall." But first, you'll kick things off at Kolossi Fruit Garden. Think juicy fruit and zesty lemonade to get you prepped for the adventure ahead. As you wind through the forest, the bubbling Kryos Potamos stream keeps you company – it's the perfect backdrop for those Insta-gold pics, almost like the Greek Gods are keeping tabs on you. You'll delve deeper along the forest nature tail, among old pines and strawberry trees, until reaching the showstopper – Caldonia Falls. Here, you can dip your toes in the shaded freshwater pool, snap some pics, and soak up the magic. The falls were named by a Scottish expedition in 1878, who were so wowed by how much it reminded them of home, they named it after Caledonia, the Roman name for Scotland. Afterwards, you'll head to Psilo Dendro, in Platres, for a well-deserved lunch. With its own trout farm, the fish here is as fresh as it gets – the perfect way to wrap up your mountain adventure.
