Tour di un giorno di Troodos, Omodos e Monastero di Kykkos da Paphos
Descrizione
Parti per un indimenticabile tour di un'intera giornata sui Monti Troodos da Paphos - una miscela perfetta di natura mozzafiato, antica spiritualità e sapori autentici ciprioti. Il tuo viaggio si snoda attraverso le splendide montagne di Troodos, ricoperte da lussureggianti foreste di pini e aria frizzante di montagna. Prima tappa è l'affascinante villaggio di Omodos, dove strade di ciottoli conducono allo storico monastero di Timios Stavros, sede di una sacra reliquia della Santa Croce. Snodandosi più in alto attraverso Pedoulas e Prodromos, arriverai al magnifico Monastero di Kykkos, fondato nell'XI secolo e sede della sacra icona della Vergine Maria, che si ritiene sia stata dipinta da San Luca in persona. Nelle vicinanze sul Monte Trono si trova la Tomba dell'Arcivescovo Makarios III, con ampie viste panoramiche che si estendono su tutta l'isola. La giornata termina in una cantina tradizionale cipriota: assapora la leggendaria Commandaria, l'infuocata Zivania e i pregiati vini locali.

Itinerario
Nascosto tra le pieghe dei Monti Troodos, Omodos è un villaggio dove il tempo scorre al suo ritmo dolce. Antichi vicoli in pietra si snodano tra cantine tradizionali e laboratori artigianali, conducendo al cuore del villaggio — il venerabile monastero di Timios Stavros, uno dei siti religiosi più antichi e sacri di Cipro, che ospita una preziosa reliquia della Santa Croce.
Arroccato in alto sui Monti Troodos tra profumate foreste di pini, il monastero di Kykkos è il gioiello della corona del patrimonio spirituale di Cipro. Fondato nell'XI secolo, questo magnifico monastero ospita il tesoro più venerato dell'isola: l'icona miracolosa della Vergine Maria, che si crede sia stata dipinta da San Luca in persona. Un luogo dove storia, fede e paesaggi montani mozzafiato convergono in perfetta armonia.
Sopra le nuvole sul Monte Trono, la Tomba dell'Arcivescovo Makarios III si erge come un potente simbolo dell'anima di Cipro. L'ultimo luogo di riposo del primo presidente dell'isola, eroe nazionale e Leader spirituale comanda ampie viste panoramiche sui Monti Troodos che si estendono all'infinito all'orizzonte. Un luogo profondamente commovente e silenziosamente bello – dove storia, fede e natura si incontrano in perfetto silenzio.
Fai una meritata pausa nel cuore dei Monti Troodos: assapora un pranzo tradizionale cipriota in una taverna locale, respira la frizzante aria di montagna e visita affascinanti negozi per il souvenir perfetto da portare a casa.
Immersa nelle tranquille colline ai piedi dei monti Troodos, la cantina Lambouri è il luogo in cui secoli di tradizione vinicola cipriota prendono vita. Assaggia una selezione accuratamente curata di vini locali, tra cui il leggendario dolce Commandaria e l'infuocato Zivania - ognuno sorseggia un riflesso del terroir unico di Cipro e degli antichi vitigni. Il finale perfetto – e più goloso – di un’indimenticabile giornata in montagna.

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.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌞 We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed the trip, the guide, and the delicious lunch. We do our best to make every guest’s holiday in Cyprus truly unforgettable! CY✨ We’d be happy to see you again on our tours! 💙
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
