Description:
Good afternoon! Do you want to leave the beach and learn something new about Cyprus, taste delicious food and amazing drinks? I invite you on a journey! Buckled up? Here we go!
Did you know that the history of Cyprus began with the Stone Age? There is still a settlement built in 9000 years BC. e. We're going to Hirokitia! It was recognized as a UNESCO site. Several houses have been rebuilt, and we see a picture of the life of the first Cypriots who settled the island before the era of navigation. Learn about this mysterious civilization.
And also look at the cheese factory and taste the famous Cyprus Chalumi cheese and no less delicious Anari cheese.
Next we go to the foothills of Troodos. The mountains are a magnificent sight created by nature 90 million years ago. On this scenic road we enter the monastery of St. Minas, who is honored in Cyprus as a healer for all diseases. You can ask him about your health and your loved ones.
There is also the chapel of St. Stylianos, considered the patron saint of children and the founder of the first kindergarten. Are you impressed with the ancient history of Cyprus? I suggest you relax at the winery, try the famous Cypriot wines and tincture of Zevania. It's therapeutic. I share how, from what and in what quantities it can be treated.
There is much to be said about Cyprus wines. They were also loved by Pharaoh Thutmose, Cleopatra and Richard the Lionheart. We taste wine and feel like a king or queen.
Now we collect the children from the lawn, where they frolic, and follow to the village of Kato Dris (Lower Oaks in Russian). We visit the Honey Museum and learn about Cypriot life and traditions.
After drinking wine and eating honey, you want to touch the beautiful. And this can be done in the village of Lefkara, which is famous for its lace and silver. What woman would refuse to try on handmade filigree jewelry - both lace and silver?
The experience of choosing what to buy here, drink a cup of traditional Cypriot coffee. Then we go to the farm with the donkeys. Here, after lunch, we can admire the olive trees or ride a donkey.
