Sofia, our guide, was absolutely fantastic! The trip is allowing you to experience and feel the Paphos countryside, the local history and the outskirts' landscape.

When reading the experience it sounded like it was going to be a hands on experience. It was not at all. We were just spoken to about the products being made. The tasting is good though
A great experience

This was a great day out for me and my husband (who's only been to Paphos twice now) to experience this authentic and traditional side of Paphos. Ladies, ensure that you are prepared by wearing longer shorts and a T-shirt/shawl to cover bare shoulders. As the churches you go into require a bit more modesty for dress code. We definitely enjoyed trying new and unique flavours of Aphrodite Delights, and having fresh, home made Bread and Halloumi! Will definitely go back to visit these local places again next time we come back!
A great trip

A lovely intro to the true cultures and gems that make Cyprus so special. Visiting Sophia’s and Andreas home and sampling such wonderful hospitality will always be the highlight for me, really brings it home how you can exist without all the trappings of modern life and be happy and healthy. A wonderful couple i am totally in awe of
Varied and Excellent!
