Itinerario
Nuestra primera parada será en el pintoresco Pueblo de Laneia; un paseo por las hermosas calles bordeadas de flores y casas de piedra. Veremos el Antiguo Lagar del pueblo, así como el Molino de Oliva.
La siguiente parada será en la Plaza de las Montañas Troodos, en el entorno de los pinares, donde podréis disfrutar de una pausa para el café y pasear por los puestos que venden productos tradicionales.
Continuando subiendo las montañas con hermosas vistas del bosque, llegaremos al monasterio más famoso y rico de la isla: Kykkos. Fundada a finales del siglo XI y dedicada a la Virgen María. Con su impresionante decoración dorada, pinturas y mosaicos, el monasterio posee un precioso icono de la Virgen María pintado por el apóstol Lucas.
Siguiendo la cima de la montaña, tendremos la oportunidad de visitar el impresionante (Throni tis Panagias) de Kykkos. Bien vale la pena experimentar las maravillosas vistas de la belleza de la naturaleza a su alrededor; Es aquí donde, durante los largos períodos de sequía, los monjes del cercano monasterio de Kykkos solían subir a la cima de la montaña, colocar el icono de la Virgen María en un “trono” de madera y orar por la lluvia. También es donde se encuentra la tumba del primer presidente de la República de Chipre, el arzobispo Makarios III.
A continuación, tendrá tiempo para relajarse y disfrutar del almuerzo en un restaurante tradicional de montaña cercano.
Después del almuerzo, visitaremos una bodega para degustar vinos, ubicada en la mejor región vitivinícola de la isla. Aquí podrá probar una variedad de exquisitos vinos producidos localmente, incluido el famoso "Commandaria", que es uno de los vinos con nombre más antiguos del mundo.
Por último, nos detendremos en el pueblo de Omodos; donde se puede visitar la Iglesia de la Santa Cruz de Timios Stavros; En la panadería local, pruebe un café chipriota preparado de forma tradicional. Pasea por este interesante pueblo con sus tiendas de artesanía. Omodos está situado en el corazón de la zona vinícola, rodeado de la belleza de la naturaleza.

Great experience with amazing views. Guide Socrates was very knowledgeable and gave a great insight into the history of Cyprus and answered all our questions. Lunch was lovely and the minibus was comfortable with good air conditioning. We visited beautiful places including Churches which were stunning. Highly recommend.
This was the second tour with Ascot travel that my father & I had. Chris was our driver but also the guide. He was absolutely fantastic! Being English & moving to Cyprus a few years ago, he had some awesome playlists in the vehicle, great banter & excellent knowledge of Cyprus! We loved our experience with Chris, it felt more like wandering around beautiful places with a knowledgeable friend than a guide. Everything was so smooth. The places we explored, the beautiful views & history shared were breathtaking. I can't recommend Ascot travel or Chris enough!
The long hair guy is 👌🏽 he is very knowledgeable and reliable with loads of information that we learnt so much thank you
Although this was a very tiring day, as there was so much to see and do in the heat, it was also an unmissable experience. We visited villages we didn’t know existed and would have missed if we didn't have Socrates and his minibus, as he is such a knowledgeable tour guide. He walked around the villages at a pace that suited us all and gave us so much information we easily understood what we were seeing and experiencing. The monument to the first president of Cyprus was a hard walk, but well worth it for those able to do so. It was absolutely stunning! The golf cart used to take those less able was not working on the day we went, so some missed seeing this, which was a great shame. Kykkos Monastery was also beautiful and I have never seen such an ornate church, although we couldn't take photos, so a visit is essential. The buffet lunch (not included) was delicious, but you weren't expected to have this if you didn't want to pay for it, although it was worth the €18, in my opinion. Finishing the day in the village of Omodos was a treat, as it is really pretty, with lots of shops guaranteed to tempt you. Socrates driving was exemplary considering the constant switch-backs in the mountains, and he constantly checked that we were all okay, and he stopped regularly for breaks, at places where food, drinks and toilets were available.
Good guide, good attitude, adherence to schedule good pick up we took 3 tours and all of them were very good.
Efficient tour with a seasoned and knowledgeable guide (Chris) who does a lot of heavy lifting in terms of driving. Lania is a quaint albeit expat heavy village, the monastery and shrine are beautifully situated. If you’re not keen on wine tasting, you might have more time at stops on a different tour. Esp. Stop at Omodos was quite short.
"If you are planning a trip up to the Troodos Mountains, do yourself a favor and book this driver! Driving those winding mountain roads can be intimidating, but our driver was exceptionally skilled, calm, and made us feel incredibly safe the entire time. The vehicle was pristine, comfortable, and handles the climbs perfectly. Beyond his excellent driving, he was a fantastic guide—helping us plan the perfect itinerary through traditional villages, suggesting a wonderful spot for a traditional Cypriot lunch, and showing us some incredible hidden viewpoints. He was punctual, professional, and so warm and accommodating. It was the absolute highlight of our trip to Cyprus. 10/10!"
We booked the services of a driver and private guide for a day my sister and I so we could visit at our own pace. We highly recommend this company and especially our driver and guide, Socrates, who has proven to be cultured, professional and very courteous. Flexible formula and affordable price. Exchanges with them were easy and responses were always quick.
Dear Marie Claude, Thank you for your kind feedback! We’re glad that you enjoyed your private tour and the flexibility it provided. Socrates was very pleased to receive your compliments. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you and your sister back to Cyprus in the future.
Our guide Chris was very knowledgeable about all things Cyprus. We were a small group of 4 so in a comfortable SUV instead of a bus. We managed to avoid the coaches all day so it was a rather peaceful day. Lania village is beautiful. I was really surprised by the size and beauty of the mountains. I would love to come back and stay in the mountains. Chris was the perfect host and answered all our questions about Cyprus. I strongly recommend this tour with Chris.
Dear Julie, Thank you for your great feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the small-group experience, the scenery, and Lania village. Chris will be happy to hear your kind words. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again.
This is a really great day out! Chris was a fantastic guide. He was considerate of the different needs of all; incredibly knowledgeable about the flora, fauna & history of Cyprus as well as about the places we visited. Always keen to answer questions & a careful driver. He made our day!
Dear Reviewer, Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re glad you had a great day and that Chris made it memorable. We’ve shared your kind words with him and hope to welcome you again soon.
