Offered in: English

This immersive journey blends Cyprus’ rich traditions, flavors, and legends into one unforgettable experience. Unlike standard sightseeing tours, this excursion offers hands-on experiences, from watching pasteli (carob toffee) being made in a small artisan workshop to tasting organic olive oil straight from the mill. In Omodos, you’ll not only enjoy a wine tasting in a historic winery but also stroll through charming craft shops, where artisans keep centuries-old traditions alive.

The highlight? A visit to Petra tou Romiou (Aphrodite’s Rock)—a place of myth and breathtaking beauty, where you can walk along the legendary shores of the Goddess of Love. This tour isn’t just about sightseeing—it’s about experiencing Cyprus through taste, tradition, and timeless stories.
