Explore the stunning sights of Cyprus on a half-day trip from Paphos. Start your adventure with a hotel pickup and relax on a comfortable, air-conditioned bus as you head towards your first stop, St. Neofytos Monastery, nestled in a peaceful valley. Founded in the 12th century by the Cypriot hermit and writer Saint Neofytos, this sacred site is renowned for its beautifully preserved frescoes and serene atmosphere.
Next, we’ll stop at a local workshop where you’ll learn about the creation of loukoumi, Cyprus’s beloved sweet treat. Watch the artisans at work, discover the traditional methods used, and enjoy a taste of these delightful confections.
We’ll then visit the stunning Agia Paraskevi Church, a 9th-century architectural marvel with its unique five-domed design. This ancient church, said to be built on the site of Aphrodite’s ancient temple, offers a glimpse into the island’s spiritual heritage and breathtaking artistry.
Our journey concludes in the charming Old Town of Paphos, where tradition meets modern flair. Wander through the lively Agora, explore artisan boutiques and local craft stalls, and soak in the vibrant energy of this historic area. Whether you’re admiring the stunning views, discovering art shops, or relaxing at a cosy café, the Old Town promises a perfect ending to your day.
