What you can expect

Most of our trip will pass through the picturesque Troodos mountain range, famous for its magnificent green forests and clean mountain air. There, at the foot of the mountains among vineyards, lies Omodos village. We will walk through its narrow cobbled streets and visit Timios Stavros Monastery. The monastery is famous for containing a piece of the Holy Cross and Rope.

Also, we will drive through the mountain picturesque villages of Pedoulas and Prodromos. Near these beautiful villages is situated famous Kykkos Monastery. Founded in 11th century, the monastery is considered to be one of the wealthiest and most ornate monasteries on the island. The Kykkos Monastery is home to a number of important of religious artefacts, the main of each is the icon of the Virgin Mary that is said to have miraculous power. Legend has it that the icon was painted by St. Luke during his lifetime. Visitors to the Kykkos Monastery can also enjoy stunning views of the surrounding countryside from the monastery's terrace. The area is covered in lush forests and beautiful flora, making it a perfect place for a peaceful and relaxing stroll.

Another important landmark in the Troodos Mountains is the Tomb of Archbishop Makarios. The tomb is located on Mount Throni, which overlooks the Kykkos Monastery. The height of Throni is 1,318 metres. The Kykkos Monastery is located on the slope of this mountain at an altitude of 1,140 metres. The tomb of Archbishop Makarios, at his own request, is located in the area between the Kykkos Monastery and the Throni of Panagia Kykkou, offering a beautiful view of the whole of Cyprus. The Archbishop, during his lifetime, gave specific instructions to the architect Andreas Philippus regarding the tomb and the surrounding area. This Tomb is the final resting place of Cyprus' first president and is important pilgrimage site for many Cypriots.

We will also stop at the winery, where you will have a chance to taste Commandaria and Zivania among other local wines.
