Our trip takes us through the picturesque Troodos Mountains, known for lush forests and fresh air. At the foot of Troodos Mountains lies Omodos, a charming village with cobbled streets and the Timios Stavros Monastery, home to a relic of the Holy Cross.

Our route will pass through Pedoulas and Prodromos villages before heading to the famous Kykkos Monastery, founded in the 11th century. One of the richest monasteries in Cyprus, it houses the revered Virgin Mary icon, said to be painted by St. Luke. The monastery offers breathtaking views of the countryside.

Great day out. Ester our guide was friendly and helpful. She gave such an interesting and informative talk throughout the day. Teddy Bear was our driver and we felt very safe even on the really narrow and winding roads. The whole trip was geared to our enjoyment. Lunch was fantastic (I really must learn to order less food). It was lovely to have a chat with Ester and Teddy as we ate. The wine tasting was really good, treated myself to a bottle or two. We had a stop in a lovely little Cypriot village with a small monastery and some really quaint shops. It's quite clear that Ester and Teddy are in the right jobs...they worked hard all day, yet it looked effortless. Huge thankyou to them both. Maxine and Alan x

Definitely a highlight of our holiday! The views in the mountains are truly breathtaking! Galina was an exceptional guide! Her enthusiasm for her Island together with her local knowledge and consideration for her guests made the trip extra special!

Such a lovely tour guide and really careful driver. Thank you ever so much for such a wonderful day. Full of information. The stops at each place we visited were just long enough for each activity. A small and happy group just large enough we didn’t need it any larger. The driver Janni so safe on the mountain roads esp where on blind bends he has to avoid a lot of fallen rocks in the hillside - I felt very safely driven and looked after. I’ve forgotten (sorry menopause brain) our lovely lady tour guide - big apologies but she was so friendly and lovely, lots of information about where we were going to or the Island itself. I really enjoyed this tour and sadly it’s the end of our time in Cyprus as tomorrow we go home - we’re going to have to return to do more trips with EOS in Cyprus. Can I also say we had to book this trip today (and we cancelled another trip with another company as they failed to show for this trip yesterday) and I’m so glad I did as we wouldn’t have found out about EOS

We travele with EOS and guide Viola August 16th. This is my first experience of going to the mountain side of Cyprus after all the sea, beaches and sun. All the monasteries we visited were very beautiful and interesting. The mountain views are beautiful. The guide was very polite and very interesting to listen to. The she gave lots of interesting information on the history and culture of Cyprus. The village of Omodos is about great - narrow streets, lots of cafes and shops with local hand made staff. It was nice that at the end of the tour there was an opportunity to swim at the birthplace of Aphrodite. My expectations for this tour have been fulfilled. I highly recommend this tour and this travel agent, thank you very much for this experience.
