Excursion d'une journée à Leucara et Kourion au départ de Paphos
Description
Découvrez les couches extraordinaires de Chypre lors de cette excursion d'une journée au départ de Paphos - où la mythologie antique, le patrimoine de l'UNESCO, la vie urbaine animée et les ruines romaines à couper le souffle créent une journée parfaitement conçue. Votre voyage commence au légendaire Lieu de naissance d’Aphrodite — le rocher côtier spectaculaire où la déesse de l’amour s’est levée de l’écume marine. Les habitants croient que se baigner dans ces eaux apporte une jeunesse et une beauté éternelles. Ensuite, découvrez le village enchanteur de Lefkara — un site classé au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO célèbre pour sa dentelle Lefkaritiko et son argenterie fine. Promenez-vous dans ses rues pittoresques en pierre et emportez chez vous une pièce d'artisanat chypriote authentique. Explorez ensuite la vieille ville animée de Limassol — sirotez un café chypriote traditionnel, parcourez l'artisanat local et les éponges marines naturelles près du Vieux Port historique. La grande finale ? La cité antique de Kourion — dramatiquement perchée sur des falaises au-dessus de la mer Méditerranée, abrite un magnifique amphithéâtre gréco-romain qui vous coupera le souffle.

Itinéraire
Là où la Méditerranée s’écrase contre des rochers anciens et où la légende devient paysage — Petra tou Romiou est l’un de ces endroits qui vous arrête dans votre élan. Cette crique sauvage balayée par le vent est le lieu où est née la mythologie grecque — l’endroit même où Aphrodite, déesse de l’amour et de la beauté, aurait surgi de l’écume marin. Tenez-vous au bord de l'eau, sentez les embruns sur votre peau et comprenez pourquoi cet endroit à couper le souffle a captivé les voyageurs, les poètes et les rêveurs pendant des milliers d'années.
La légende raconte que Léonard de Vinci lui-même a déjà parcouru les ruelles de pierre de Lefkara — et en est parti en portant une exquise dentelle faite à la main destinée à l'autel de la cathédrale de Milan. Des siècles plus tard, l'art ne s'est pas effacé d'une seule maille. Ce village enchanteur classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO produit toujours la célèbre dentelle Lefkaritiko et l'orfèvrerie finement travaillée — chaque pièce étant fabriquée avec amour à la main dans de minuscules ateliers nichés dans des allées de pierre chauffées au soleil qui ont peu changé depuis la visite de Léonard.
Là où les rues médiévales en pierre entrent en collision avec les cafés branchés, les galeries animées et les étals animés du marché, la vieille ville de Limassol est l'expérience urbaine la plus dynamique et surprenante de Chypre. Promenez-vous dans des siècles d'histoire, parcourez l'artisanat local, les cosmétiques à l'huile d'olive et les éponges marines naturelles, puis tombez sur l'imposant château de Limassol - un gardien calme et séculaire se tenant à quelques pas du front de mer animé. Une ville qui porte son passé et son présent avec autant de fierté.
Perchée de façon spectaculaire au sommet d'une falaise au-dessus de la mer Méditerranée étincelante, l'ancienne ville de Kourion est l'un des sites archéologiques les plus époustouflants au monde. Le magnifique amphithéâtre gréco-romain domine encore l'horizon comme il y a deux mille ans, tandis que des villas remplies de mosaïques murmurent des histoires de grandeur romaine et de vie quotidienne figées dans le temps. Marchez à travers les ruines, sentez la pierre chypriote chaude sous vos pieds, et comprenez pourquoi le temps lui-même semble s'être arrêté ici - juste pour admirer la vue.

It was well organized and on time. Our guide Vladimir made it very interesting and gave us a lot of information about Cyprus in general and the places we visited.
Thank you very much for your feedback! We are very glad to hear that the tour was interesting and informative for you. We will definitely pass your kind words on to Vladimir — he will be very pleased. We would be happy to see you again on our future tours!
We weren’t sure of size of vehicle we would be travelling in. A small 7 seater pulled into the hotel car park, no sign in window. We eventually realised he was looking for us. The vehicle was cramped for the journey we took. I was lucky I was in the front. My wife and friends found it uncomfortable. The driver/guide was very polite and knowledgeable, gave us lots of info. Kourion was interesting an ancient settlement.Then took us to Limassol harbour where we had lunch then not much time to explore. Lefkara was a pretty traditional village. All in all a decent day out tarnished by mode of transport.

We really enjoyed seeing Lefkara which was the hilight of the trip for us but wish we could have had more time at this beautiful village. The ruins at Kurion are good to explore with the lovely mosaics & it was also nice to see the marina & old town of Limassol. The tour guide was very informative and helpful and we would recommend this trip.

Excellent guide, went out of her way to enrich the experience for us. Informative and very open to questions. Managed the small number with ease
Hello Thank you very much for your review we are glad to hear back from you. Your comments are noted and highly appreciated. Hope to see you again! With the best wishes, EOS TOURS TEAM
Good programme. Visiting 4 locations. I would say, there is not enough time in Limassol and in Lefkara. Add another 30 minutes in each of these locations. The tour would still return at a reasonable hour.
Dear Traveler Thank you very much for your review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour. We are always trying our best! Thank you for your time leaving this comment, it helps us a lot to improve better. Wis to see you again. Best Regards, EOS TOURS TEAM
Kurion was extremely interesting but we would have benefited from having a guide take us round. Limassol was virtually a complete waste of time. We spent approximately 1 hour 40 minutes there but with little to do aside from lunch. So many places were closed. Lefkhara was so interesting and beautiful but we barely spent 30 minutes there. No time at all to have time to ourselves and do a bit of shopping. The schedule for the day was extremely poor and frankly Limassol could have been exclude leaving more time at Kurion and Lefkhara
Dear Traveler Hello We appreciate the time spent on leaving this review. And we thank you for participating in our excursion trip.

The trip you participated in is a sharing coach tour, for the customers who want flexible timing we provide individual trips for extra cost. We hope that after all you left the trip with good vibes, and you have reason to return. We hope to see you again. Best Regards, EOS TOURS TEAM
This tour was good as it hit all the main tourist attractions I wanted to see. However, our guide did not have a lot of information for us at any of the sites. The tour was also a bit rushed at the end with only 10min to wonder at the last location.
Dear Traveler Hello Thank you very much for your feedback. The trip operated as it was planed the guide is providing enough information on each trip but not to much because not always it is needed, but he/she is always available and happy to answer any questions you may have. Eos Tours Team is always doing it best and you reviews helping us to improve more and more. Thank you very much for this opportunity. Best Regards, EOS TOURS TEAM
Very nice guide. There were 4 of us on this excursion. The 3 cities are very beautiful! The duration was very very good!
Dear Traveler Thank you very much for your review and the given high score. We are glad to hear back from you in a such nice way. Wish you all the best, EOS TOURS TEAM
The west coast of Cyprus let me down quite a bit, because it is not spectacular and the beaches are either bouldered or brown sand and muddy touch. On the other hand, archaeological sites abound for lovers of ancient stones such as the one that subscribes, although there are also no remains too showy. The island has been so cruelly razed and on so many occasions, that there are by no means too many striking ruins left. I take this fate for granted, and I don't think it'll come back.
Dear Traveler Hello Unfortunately, we would kindly request you to delete or rewrite this review, since you are writing here your opinion in general about Cyprus and nothing about the excursion or our service. We are not even sure whether you really have been on our trip or not because you are not writing your name or the day of the trip, not even which places you visited. Thank you very much for understanding. Best Regards,
A company that does not respect its customers. We ordered and paid in advance, the only company that collects will pay in advance. This trip is terrible. We asked to return after an hour. We said there was an older man with us. They didn't think. They planned an inappropriate trip. The company refuses to return the payment. Don't take them. Beware of crooks
That's the fourth review we are receiving from you. By the policy, you can not review a trip you never have been on. But this is not stopping you. Unfortunately, we can not add you here your email screenshots but we will add your last email descriptions below: " Is it worth it to you to insist on 250 euros, as expected from a serious company that failed in s a trip? .and continue to receive negative opinions. I think that your decision makers are making a big mistake to insist in this way. " We hope it is a time issue till the TripAdvisor policy will delete your reviews.
