Description

Embark on a captivating day coach trip to the Troodos Mountains, a journey that winds through majestic landscapes and ancient treasures. As you depart, the verdant embrace of the Paphos Forest unfolds before you, a lush canopy of pine trees that sets the stage for your mountain adventure.

Your first stop is the serene Chrysorroyiatissa Monastery, perched atop a hillside amidst tranquil surroundings. Step into the monastery’s hallowed halls adorned with intricate frescoes, and soak in the atmosphere of reverence and history that permeates the air.

Continuing your ascent, you’ll pay homage to a modern icon of Cyprus at the Archbishop Makarios III Tomb at Throni. Here, amidst the sweeping vistas of the Troodos Mountains, you’ll find a poignant memorial to the beloved leader who left an indelible mark on the island’s history.

Next, delve into the spiritual heart of Cyprus with a visit to Kykkos Monastery, one of the island’s most revered religious sites. Marvel at the monastery’s ornate architecture and opulent interiors, and discover its priceless treasures, including ancient icons and intricate mosaics.

As your journey through the mountains unfolds, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views at every turn, with rugged peaks and verdant valleys stretching out before you. Pause to capture the beauty of the landscape and feel the tranquillity of nature wash over you.

Your final destination is the charming village of Omodhos, a charming wine village in the Troodos Mountains of Cyprus, which offers a delightful experience with its traditional atmosphere, historical sites, and local wine culture. Despite its small size, Omodhos has many interesting sights. Located within proximity of one another are the cobbled square, old stone-built houses, local wineries, a Medieval wine press and the monastery of Timios Stavros (Holy Cross), with its old icons and impressive woodcarvings where terraced vineyards cascade down the hillsides, producing some of Cyprus’s finest wines.
