Uncover the extraordinary layers of Cyprus on this full-day tour from Paphos — where ancient mythology, UNESCO heritage, vibrant city life, and breathtaking Roman ruins create one perfectly crafted day.
Your journey begins at the legendary Birthplace of Aphrodite — the dramatic coastal rock where the goddess of love rose from the sea foam. Locals believe bathing in these waters brings eternal youth and beauty.
Next, discover enchanting Lefkara village — a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its exquisite handmade Lefkaritiko lace and fine silverware. Stroll its picturesque stone streets and take home a piece of authentic Cypriot craftsmanship.
Then explore vibrant Limassol Old Town — sip traditional Cypriot coffee, browse local crafts and natural sea sponges near the historic Old Port.

What To Expect
Aphrodite's Rock
Where the Mediterranean crashes against ancient rocks and legend becomes landscape — Petra tou Romiou is one of those places that stops you in your tracks. This wild, windswept cove is where Greek mythology was born — the very spot where Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty, is said to have risen from the sea foam. Stand at the water's edge, feel the spray on your skin, and understand why this breathtaking place has captivated travellers, poets, and dreamers for thousands of years.
Pano Lefkara
Legend has it that Leonardo da Vinci himself once walked the stone alleys of Lefkara — and left carrying exquisite handmade lace destined for the altar of Milan Cathedral. Centuries later, the artistry hasn't faded by a single stitch. This enchanting UNESCO-listed village still produces the world-famous Lefkaritiko lace and finely crafted silverware — each piece lovingly handmade in tiny workshops tucked into sun-warmed stone alleys that have changed little since Leonardo's visit.

4.00It 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.

3.00We 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

4.00We 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

4.00Good 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

2.00Kurion 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

3.00This 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

I TAKE IT FOR VIEW

3.00The 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!!!

1.00A 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
