This tour blends medieval history, archaeology, modern Cyprus, and its traditions.

Our journey begins at the stunning Birthplace of Aphrodite, where, according to legend, the goddess emerged from the sea foam. It is said that bathing here prolongs youth and beauty.

Next, we visit Lefkara, a UNESCO-listed village famous for handmade lace and silverware. Its picturesque stone streets and unique "Lefkaritiko" lace-making tradition make it a cultural gem.

We then explore Limassol, a vibrant mix of old and new. In the Old Town, near the Old Port, you can stroll through narrow streets, sip Cypriot coffee, and shop for local crafts, sea sponges, and olive oil-based products.

Finally, we visit the ancient city of Kourion, perched atop a cliff with breathtaking views. Walk through its famous Greco-Roman amphitheater and experience the grandeur of the Roman era.

What To Expect

Aphrodite's Rock

Petra tou Romiou is a wild, windswept cove where waves crash against ancient rocks — and where, legend says, Aphrodite rose from the sea foam. Surrounded by untouched beauty and a horizon that seems to hold its breath, it's a place where myth and nature blur into something unforgettable.

Pano Lefkara

Lefkara is the village where, legend says, Leonardo da Vinci came to buy lace for the altar of Milan Cathedral — and the artistry hasn’t faded since. Alongside its world-famous embroidery, the village is known for finely crafted silverwork, still made by hand in tiny workshops tucked into its stone alleys.

It was well organized and on time. Our guide Vladimir made it very interesting and gave us a lot of information about Cyprus in general and the places we visited.
Nice day out. Uncomfortable vehicle.

We weren’t sure of size of vehicle we would be travelling in. A small 7 seater pulled into the hotel car park, no sign in window. We eventually realised he was looking for us. The vehicle was cramped for the journey we took. I was lucky I was in the front. My wife and friends found it uncomfortable. The driver/guide was very polite and knowledgeable, gave us lots of info. Kourion was interesting an ancient settlement.Then took us to Limassol harbour where we had lunch then not much time to explore. Lefkara was a pretty traditional village. All in all a decent day out tarnished by mode of transport.
Great Day Out

We really enjoyed seeing Lefkara which was the hilight of the trip for us but wish we could have had more time at this beautiful village. The ruins at Kurion are good to explore with the lovely mosaics & it was also nice to see the marina & old town of Limassol. The tour guide was very informative and helpful and we would recommend this trip.
Informative and varied

Good programme. Visiting 4 locations. I would say, there is not enough time in Limassol and in Lefkara. Add another 30 minutes in each of these locations. The tour would still return at a reasonable hour.
A poor scheduling of time

Kurion was extremely interesting but we would have benefited from having a guide take us round. Limassol was virtually a complete waste of time. We spent approximately 1 hour 40 minutes there but with little to do aside from lunch. So many places were closed. Lefkhara was so interesting and beautiful but we barely spent 30 minutes there. No time at all to have time to ourselves and do a bit of shopping. The schedule for the day was extremely poor and frankly Limassol could have been exclude leaving more time at Kurion and Lefkhara
Just ok

This tour was good as it hit all the main tourist attractions I wanted to see. However, our guide did not have a lot of information for us at any of the sites. The tour was also a bit rushed at the end with only 10min to wonder at the last location.
Superb

The west coast of Cyprus let me down quite a bit, because it is not spectacular and the beaches are either bouldered or brown sand and muddy touch. On the other hand, archaeological sites abound for lovers of ancient stones such as the one that subscribes, although there are also no remains too showy. The island has been so cruelly razed and on so many occasions, that there are by no means too many striking ruins left. I take this fate for granted, and I don't think it'll come back.
Stay away from this company!!!

A company that does not respect its customers. We ordered and paid in advance, the only company that collects will pay in advance. This trip is terrible. We asked to return after an hour. We said there was an older man with us. They didn't think. They planned an inappropriate trip. The company refuses to return the payment. Don't take them. Beware of crooks
