Troodos, Omodos og Kykkos kloster fulddagstur fra Paphos
Beskrivelse
Start på en uforglemmelig heldagstur i Troodos-bjergene fra Paphos - en perfekt blanding af betagende natur, gammel åndelighed og autentiske cypriotiske smag. Din rejse løber gennem de fantastiske Troodos-bjergene, dækket af frodige fyrretræskove og sprød bjergluft. Første stop er charmerende Omodos landsby, hvor stenede gader fører til det historiske Timios Stavros kloster, hjemsted for en hellig relikvie af det hellige kors. Vinkende højere gennem Pedoulas og Prodromos, kommer du til det storslåede Kykkos kloster - grundlagt i det 11. århundrede og hjemsted for den hellige ikon af Jomfru Maria, der menes at have været malet af St. Luke selv. I nærheden på Mount Throni ligger gravmuren til ærkebiskop Makarios III - med omfattende panoramaudsigt, der strækker sig over hele øen. Dagen afsluttes på et traditionelt cypriotisk vingård – nyd den legendariske Commandaria, den brændende Zivania og fine lokale vine.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Omodos er en landsby, hvor tiden bevæger sig i sit eget blide tempo. Gamle stengader løber forbi traditionelle vinkældre og håndværksværksteder, der fører til hjertet af landsbyen - det ærede Timios Stavros kloster, en af Cyperns ældste og mest hellige religiøse steder, hjemsted for en værdifuld relikvie af det hellige kors.
Kykkos Monastery ligger højt i Troodos-bjergene blandt duftende fyrretræskove og er kronjuvelen af Cyperns åndelige arv. Dette storslåede kloster, der blev grundlagt i det 11. århundrede, huser den mest ærede skat på øen - den mirakuløse ikon for Jomfru Maria, der menes at have været malet af St. Luke selv. Et sted, hvor historie, tro og betagende bjerglandskaber samles i perfekt harmoni.
Højt over skyerne på Mount Throni står ærkebiskop Makarios IIIs grav som et kraftfuldt symbol på Cyperns sjæl. Den sidste hvilested for øens første præsident, nationalhelt og åndelig leder befaler omfattende panoramaudsigt over Troodos-bjergene, der strækker sig uendeligt ind i horisonten. Et dybt rørende og roligt smukt sted - hvor historie, tro og natur mødes i fuldkommen stilhed.
Tag en velfortjent pause i hjertet af Troodos-bjergene - nyd en traditionel cypriotisk frokost på en lokal taverna, ånd den skarpe bjergluft og bladre i charmerende butikker for den perfekte souvenir at tage hjem.
Beliggende i de rolige foden af Troodos-bjergene, er Lambouri Winery hvor århundreder af cypriotisk vinfremstillingstradition kommer til live. Prøv et omhyggeligt udvalg af lokale vine, herunder den legendariske søde Commandaria og den brændende Zivania - hver snuppe afspejler Cyperns unikke terroir og gamle druesorter. Den perfekte - og mest lækre - finale til en uforglemmelig bjergdag.

Awesome day, great views definitely need your walking shoes! Highly recommended.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review! 😊 We are happy to hear that you had an amazing day and enjoyed the beautiful views. Comfortable shoes are indeed a great idea to fully enjoy all the places along the route. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again on another adventure!
the weather is very bad on 20th when we took the tour, thunderstorms, strong wind, very cold, very foggy, low clouds, low visibility, there had been landslides with rocks on the road, worst there’s even hailstorms by afternoon. Our guide and driver Brad (hope I had spelt correctly) is the best driver, negotiating the zigzag narrow mountain drive in such bad weather conditions with ease, while at the same time talking and explaining. Kykkos is the main theme of the tour. We were given 40 minutes there, which I would suggest one hour is better. Unfortunately the Throni shrine was closed (maybe due to extreme weather). We arrived Omodos very early at 0830, everything is not opened (except few cafes), so we can only see the church. The Stavros restaurant, food & wine tasting is good. It’s really a memorable adventurous excursion. It’s a very special chance that we can experience such extreme conditions & circumstances. We were all safely back to Paphos at 4pm, thanks to Brad.
Thank you for such a vivid and detailed review — it was truly a pleasure to read! From your description, the weather that day really put the whole trip to the test, and we are genuinely glad that, even under such extreme conditions, the excursion still turned into a memorable and unique adventure for you. A special thank you for highlighting Brad — handling winding mountain roads in such weather while staying calm, focused, and still engaging with the group does require real skill, and we will be sure to pass on your kind words to him. Kykkos definitely deserves more time — an hour there feels very different from forty minutes, and we are already considering how to better adjust the timing so that guests can fully experience its atmosphere. As for Omodos, you caught it in its almost “behind-the-scenes” early morning state — a rare perspective, though not the most convenient for exploring. And thank you for mentioning Stavros — it’s great to hear that even in such a demanding day, there was still room to enjoy good food and wine. We truly try not just to run tours, but to adapt to circumstances and maintain a high standard even when nature has its own plans. Journeys like this test our flexibility, and your feedback means a lot to us. We would be delighted to welcome you again — hopefully next time in calmer weather so you can fully enjoy every stop along the route ☀️
Wonderful trip with great guide, who kept us informed all the way, in a comfy air conditioned minivan. The monasteries and scenery was breathtaking, and lunch stop delicious.

Great day out. Ester our guide was friendly and helpful. She gave such an interesting and informative talk throughout the day. Teddy Bear was our driver and we felt very safe even on the really narrow and winding roads. The whole trip was geared to our enjoyment. Lunch was fantastic (I really must learn to order less food). It was lovely to have a chat with Ester and Teddy as we ate. The wine tasting was really good, treated myself to a bottle or two. We had a stop in a lovely little Cypriot village with a small monastery and some really quaint shops. It's quite clear that Ester and Teddy are in the right jobs...they worked hard all day, yet it looked effortless. Huge thankyou to them both. Maxine and Alan x
