Cyprus has a wide variety of cultural, historical and natural attractions. Our tour “Heart of Cyprus” is an ideal opportunity to visit the Troodos mountains, swim in the azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea, visit ancient shrines, cozy Cypriot villages and small family wineries.

The first point of our excursion route will be the Millomeris waterfall. Until recently, few knew about Millomeris, because the road to it was impassable. Now all roads have been cleared, and in order to conveniently cross from one bank of the river to the other, a small bridge was built. The waterfall itself and the surrounding landscapes are so beautiful that it is impossible to visit here without taking colorful photos.

After that, we will go to the most famous sight on the backbone - Kykki Monastery. This active monastery is located in the Troodos Mountains. It was founded at the end of the XI century by the Byzantine emperor Alexei I Comnenus. Kykki Monastery is famous primarily due to the Icon of the Virgin of Kykk, whose face is hidden by a dense burgundy cloth. According to legend, her image was written by the Apostle Luke, who was blessed to work by the Virgin herself.

Then we will go to the southern slopes of the Troodos mountain range, through the ancient village of Omodos, which managed to preserve the pristine charm of the ancient island. This cozy little village fascinates at first sight. Most of the locals are engaged in winemaking. In addition, the women of Omodos devote time to embroidery and other domestic crafts, and men are engaged in the manufacture of glass and silver products, as well as engravings.

The local wine here is very tasty and popular. We will definitely visit one of the wineries, where you can taste wonderful Cypriot wines.
