What To Expect
Kolossi Castle
Rising proudly from the sun-drenched plains just west of Limassol, Kolossi Castle is one of the most iconic and historically significant medieval fortresses in all of Cyprus. Built by the Knights of the Order of St. John, this extraordinary stronghold is forever linked to King Richard the Lionheart and the Crusaders — and it was within these very walls that the legendary Commandaria, one of the world's oldest named wines, was first created. Climb to the observation deck for sweeping panoramic views, and descend into the ancient wine cellars where centuries of history linger in every stone.
Stand at the edge of the ancient world at Petra tou Romiou — the legendary Birthplace of Aphrodite, where mythology and landscape merge into something truly extraordinary. Dramatic rocks rise from a wild, foaming sea, the coastline curves away in both directions in breathtaking beauty, and the air carries the same electric charge it must have held on the day the goddess of love herself first emerged from these very waters. One of the most iconic and deeply moving spots on the entire island — and a moment you will never forget.
