Pickup offered
Offered in: English

Saturday or Sunday private day accompanied journeys and experiences from the Monasteries of Cyprus in the beautiful Troodos mountain range!

Join me for a private and well-informed journey around the ancient religious sites which have been inhabited by monks for centuries, lining the mountains of Cyprus! (includes stop for Lunch - not included in the price)

I guarantee friendly, knowledgeable and pleasant company, great food locations with traditional Cypriot food! I am a very pleasant and friendly local, who will surely make your day! The schedule is flexible and we can visit the places that you desire from the itinerary, within the 9 hour maximum time-frame, and we can also make stops which are not planned for. We will NOT be able to visit all the Monasteries in the itinerary (due to the distances between them) but we will visit 3 based on your preferences! (Numbers 1-3 or 4-6).

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to see another, less commercial and unique aspect of our island!
