Set off on an unforgettable full-day Troodos Mountains tour from Paphos — a perfect blend of breathtaking nature, ancient spirituality, and authentic Cypriot flavours.
Your journey winds through the stunning Troodos Mountains, blanketed in lush pine forests and crisp mountain air. First stop is charming Omodos village, where cobblestone streets lead to the historic Timios Stavros Monastery, home to a sacred relic of the Holy Cross.
Winding higher through Pedoulas and Prodromos, you'll arrive at the magnificent Kykkos Monastery — founded in the 11th century and home to the sacred icon of the Virgin Mary, believed to have been painted by St. Luke himself.
Nearby on Mount Throni lies the Tomb of Archbishop Makarios III — with sweeping panoramic views stretching across the entire island.
The day ends at a traditional Cypriot winery — savour the legendary Commandaria, fiery Zivania, and fine local wines.

What To Expect
Omodos
Tucked into the folds of the Troodos Mountains, Omodos is a village where time moves at its own gentle pace. Ancient stone alleys wind past traditional wine cellars and craft workshops, leading to the heart of the village — the venerable Timios Stavros Monastery, one of Cyprus's oldest and most sacred religious sites, home to a precious relic of the Holy Cross.
Kykkos Monastery
Perched high in the Troodos Mountains amid fragrant pine forests, Kykkos Monastery is the crown jewel of Cyprus' spiritual heritage. Founded in the 11th century, this magnificent monastery houses the most revered treasure on the island — the miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary, believed to have been painted by St. Luke himself. A place where history, faith, and breathtaking mountain scenery converge in perfect harmony.

Adventurous excursion

5.00the weather is very bad on 20th when we took the tour, thunderstorms, strong wind, very cold, very foggy, low clouds, low visibility, there had been landslides with rocks on the road, worst there’s even hailstorms by afternoon. Our guide and driver Brad (hope I had spelt correctly) is the best driver, negotiating the zigzag narrow mountain drive in such bad weather conditions with ease, while at the same time talking and explaining. Kykkos is the main theme of the tour. We were given 40 minutes there, which I would suggest one hour is better. Unfortunately the Throni shrine was closed (maybe due to extreme weather). We arrived Omodos very early at 0830, everything is not opened (except few cafes), so we can only see the church. The Stavros restaurant, food & wine tasting is good. It’s really a memorable adventurous excursion. It’s a very special chance that we can experience such extreme conditions & circumstances. We were all safely back to Paphos at 4pm, thanks to Brad.
Great day out

5.00Great 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
A holiday highlight!

5.00Such 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
