Full Day Excursion to Troodos Mountains. This tour takes us to the heart of Cyprus, the Troodos Mountain range, home to numerous small villages where life has remained virtually unchanged. Omodos is built around one of the most ancient monasteries in Cyprus, the Holy Cross. This is also one of the best wine producing villages, where traditional white stone buildings line the narrow cobbled streets. Further up the mountainside lies the village of Galata, which you will also visit, with its two Byzantine churches dominating the landscape. From there it's just a short drive to Kakopetria , a popular mountain resort, where we shall stop for lunch (not included) and time to wander around the village and its traditional old quarter. Return to Limassol via Lania, a beautiful little village, well known for its resident artists.
