Troodos, Omodos & Kykkos kloster Heldagstur från Paphos
Beskrivning
Ge dig ut på en oförglömlig heldagstur i Troodosbergen från Paphos – en perfekt blandning av hisnande natur, gammal andlighet och äkta cypriotiska smaker. Din resa slingrar sig genom de fantastiska Troodosbergen, täckta av frodiga tallskogar och frisk bergsluft. Första stoppet är charmiga Omodos by, där kullerstensgator leder till det historiska Timios Stavros-klostret, hem till en helig relik av det heliga korset. När du slingrar dig högre upp genom Pedoulas och Prodromos kommer du till det magnifika Kykkos-klostret – som grundades på 1000-talet och är hem till Jungfru Marias heliga ikon, som tros ha målats av Lukas själv. I närheten på berget Throni ligger ärkebiskop Makarios III:s grav – med vidsträckt panoramautsikt som sträcker sig över hela ön. Dagen avslutas på en traditionell cypriotisk vingård – njut av den legendariska Commandaria, eldiga Zivania och fina lokala viner.

Resplan
Inbäddat i Troodosbergens veck är Omodos en by där tiden rör sig i sin egen lugna takt. Gamla stengränder slingrar sig förbi traditionella vinkällare och hantverksverkstäder, som leder till hjärtat av byn – det ärevördiga Timios Stavros-klostret, en av Cyperns äldsta och heligaste religiösa platser, hem till en dyrbar relik av det heliga korset.
Kykkos kloster ligger högt uppe i Troodosbergen bland doftande tallskogar och är kronjuvelen i Cyperns andliga arv. Detta magnifika kloster grundades på 1000-talet och hyser öns mest vördade skatt – den mirakulösa ikonen av Jungfru Maria, som tros ha målats av Lukas själv. En plats där historia, tro och hisnande bergslandskap möts i perfekt harmoni.
Högt ovanför molnen på berget Throni står ärkebiskop Makarios III:s grav som en kraftfull symbol för Cyperns själ. Den sista viloplatsen för öns första president, nationalhjälte och andlige Ledare har en vidsträckt panoramautsikt över Troodosbergen som sträcker sig ändlöst in i horisonten. En djupt rörande och stillsamt vacker plats – där historia, tro och natur möts i fullkomlig tystnad.
Ta en välförtjänt paus i hjärtat av Troodosbergen – njut av en traditionell cypriotisk lunch på en lokal taverna, andas in den friska bergsluften och bläddra i charmiga butiker för den perfekta souveniren att ta med hem.
Lambouri Winery ligger inbäddat i Troodosbergens lugna utlöpare och är platsen där århundraden av cypriotisk vintillverkningstradition får liv. Provsmaka ett noggrant utvalt urval av lokala viner, inklusive den legendariska söta Commandaria och den eldiga Zivania – var och en smuttar på en reflektion av Cyperns unika terroir och gamla druvsorter. Den perfekta – och mest utsökta – finalen på en oförglömlig bergsdag.

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

Definitely a highlight of our holiday! The views in the mountains are truly breathtaking! Galina was an exceptional guide! Her enthusiasm for her Island together with her local knowledge and consideration for her guests made the trip extra special!
Thank you for taking the time to share your impression of the tour. Your opinion is very important to us. We are glad that the mountainous Cyprus has been a wonderful experience for you. We look forward to seeing you on our other excursions.
Had a great time,so easy to book and so helpful. Vlad our guide was so top notch,bags of info on the area and history but not in your face. Very mindful of his passengers. The wine tasting was a hoot. Highly recommend this tour
Thank you for sharing your experiences! We are happy to hear that you had a great time on our tour. We appreciate your kind words!
A great day exploring around the Troodos, our guide was very informative and made the trip really enjoyable. I took a lot of photos of the landscape and the places we visited.
Thank you for your kind review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed exploring the Troodos with us and found our guide informative. We're glad you had the opportunity to capture the beautiful landscapes and sites. We look forward to welcoming you on another adventure soon!
This is my 2nd time to troodos.and every moment was memorable.from beginning to the end cherry on the cake was when our guide stopped the minibus to buy fresh cherries to share them with all on the bus .
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your second trip to Troodos with us. We're glad the fresh cherries were a nice touch. We look forward to welcoming you on another memorable journey soon!
What a fantastic day, the tour guide was fantastic, the driver was great, we stopped at great locations. The mountains, the monasteries, the restaurant for lunch, the winery, the village of Omodos
Dear Traveler Hello Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a 5-star rating – it’s much appreciated! Best Regards, EOS TOURS TEAM
Good trip to Trodos. Everything well organised. One day spent visiting the countryside in a relaxing way.
Dear Rosario We’re really grateful and appreciate you taking the time to share your rating with us. Thank you very much for your review. Best Regards, EOS TOURS TEAM
Such a lovely tour guide and really careful driver. Thank you ever so much for such a wonderful day. Full of information. The stops at each place we visited were just long enough for each activity. A small and happy group just large enough we didn’t need it any larger. The driver Janni so safe on the mountain roads esp where on blind bends he has to avoid a lot of fallen rocks in the hillside - I felt very safely driven and looked after. I’ve forgotten (sorry menopause brain) our lovely lady tour guide - big apologies but she was so friendly and lovely, lots of information about where we were going to or the Island itself. I really enjoyed this tour and sadly it’s the end of our time in Cyprus as tomorrow we go home - we’re going to have to return to do more trips with EOS in Cyprus. Can I also say we had to book this trip today (and we cancelled another trip with another company as they failed to show for this trip yesterday) and I’m so glad I did as we wouldn’t have found out about EOS
Dear Julie Hi, I am sorry for the late reply to your review it is a shame that we missed it to answer in time. Thank you very much for your positive comments. Your honest feedback means the world to us. We are really doing our best and we are glad to hear back a story about how you spent the time with our team! We will be very happy to see you again! Please do not forget to mention in your next booking that you are a repeater! Wish you good health and see you next time! With greetings, EOS TOURS ETAM
