Description
A Day of Mountains, Monasteries & Magic: From Ayia Napa to the Heart of Cyprus
Need a break from sunbathing and mojito-sipping? Ready to trade flip-flops for cobblestones?
This full-day tour from Ayia Napa to the Troodos Mountains and Nicosia will give your holiday the upgrade it deserves.
In one epic Day, you’ll sip coffee in Europe’s last divided capital, breathe the crisp air of the Troodos peaks, and wander through villages that feel straight out of a postcard.
Wine? Waterfalls? Ancient monasteries? Yes, yes, and yes.
Whether you’re a nature lover, a history geek, or a sucker for a good view, this day trip is your golden ticket to Cyprus beyond the beach.
Payment and Booking
You will pay only a tiny part of the amount through PayPal (a deposit) at the time of payment.
That way, we can reserve a spot for you on the tour and ensure your place is guaranteed.
You will pay the remaining balance (the tour cost) to the driver/guide (in cash) at the beginning of the tour.
First Stop: Nicosia – Where Two Worlds Collide
Our adventure starts with a trip to Nicosia, the only capital city in the world still divided into two.
You’ve got around an hour to explore the charming Walled Old Town, hunt down the famous “Green Line,” or enjoy a freddo espresso while watching the city wake up.
History buffs, this is your moment. The atmosphere is unique, a blend of East and West.
Upward and Onward to Kakopetria – The Village of Whispers
Next, we wind our way up into the hills and find ourselves in Kakopetria – a hidden gem wrapped in traditional charm. Think narrow alleyways, blooming balconies, and the gentle sound of running water.
You’ll have time to stroll the cobbled streets, snap a hundred photos, and maybe even chat with a local who’ll tell you a story or two (Cypriots love a good story).
The Troodos Mountains – Cyprus from the Clouds
Welcome to the top! Troodos Square, the highest point in the mountain range, is where nature pulls out all the stops. We’re talking pine forests stretching for miles and views that will make your Instagram explode.
You’ll have some free time here for Lunch (not included, but delicious tavernas await), and trust me—food always tastes better at 1,700 meters above sea level.
Omodos Village – Sip, Stroll, and Soak in the Spirit
Our final and maybe most charming stop is Omodos, the kind of village you didn’t know you needed in your life. Centered around the historic Holy Cross Monastery, Omodos is a haven for wine lovers, souvenir hunters, and fans of all things rustic.
Step inside the 1,000-year-old monastery (cover those shoulders, please!), taste locally made wine, peek into tiny shops, and fall head over heels for the slow pace of village life.
Why This Tour is a Must
Because Cyprus has more to offer than beaches and beach bars, this tour is your backstage pass to the island’s soul—its history, mountains, monasteries, and magical villages.
If you want to return home with real stories—not just tan lines—this one’s for you.
