Cyprus Winery Tours

The Mediterranean is one of the best places in the whole world to create delicious wine that is known the world over and Cyprus is no exception. They have a long history of wine-making that is believed to go back as far as 6000 years, so they know what they’re doing!

There are many wineries in Cyprus but not all of them run scheduled tours. Here we have listed everything from winery tours, tasting sessions, and combi tours (with food and other activities also included). Many of these experiences have pick-up options from multiple locations so make sure to have a read-through to see if the tour is available near you!

#1 Vino Venture

Three wineries, meze lunch in a traditional taverna, a stop at the gorgeous Omodos village, and door-to-door drop-off in multiple locations across the island… This is the best Cyprus winery tour full stop.

We did multiple visits to the Troodos mountains during our stay in Cyprus and it is the perfect location for a relaxing day sipping incredible wine in the cool sun. This is especially true during the summer as the mountains are much cooler than the baking coastline so everyone can enjoy the experience without worrying about the searing heat.

They provide pick-up services from;

  • Lunch Included: Yes

#2 The Grape Escape!

So, you took a look at the Vino Venture Cyprus winery tour above and you thought to yourself ‘that’s a little expensive, if only there was a slightly cheaper alternative but almost as good?’. Well, that’s exactly what they thought so they created The Grape Escape!

This is essentially exactly the same as the Vino venture tour above but with one less winery visit, a smaller lunch, and a slightly shorter tour duration. You still get to experience the incredible Troodos mountains, taste gorgeous wine, and stroll through the famous Omodos village.

If this price is slightly more affordable then click here to see availability, reviews, and how to book!

  • Tour Duration: 6-7 Hours
  • Food Included: Yes

#3 Etel Winery Experience

If you are staying in the north of the country then Cyprus winery tours are slightly harder to come by. Luckily, the relatively new Etel winery has a fantastic experience available . They offer pick-up and drop-off from anywhere in the Kyrenia area and you will stop off at the Kozan Experience to capture some stunning views along the way.

The tour itself includes 6 different unique wines and a very highly-rated lunch at the winery. You will also learn all about the making process, right from the planting all the way to the bottling of the wine. Click here for more information, availability, and prices!

  • Start Time: 9:30 am

#4 – Oenou Yi Winery

As you can imagine, quite a significant amount of the cost for the Cyprus winery tours above are the transport fees to get up into the Troodos mountains. However, if you have your own vehicle or you are staying up in Omodos then you can save a lot of money by booking the tour without transport.

The Oenou Yi Winery is a very famous spot to enjoy incredible wine and was probably our favorite winery during our stops in Omodos. Booking with the winery will get you the tasting and the guided tour which last around 45 minutes. This is definitely the option if you do not require transport! Click here for the price, availability, and more!

  • Tour Duration: 45 Minutes
  • Pickup Included: No
  • Tour Pace: Medium
  • Start Time: 10 am – 6 pm
  • Lunch Included: No

#5 Tsangarides Winery

In the heart of Lamona village in the Troodos mountains lies Tsangarides winery . Another brilliant package for anyone with their own transport of anyone staying in the hills. The winery itself is located around 30 minutes from Paphos so it is also a great option if that is where you are staying.

For your money, you get 7 different wines to taste alongside a hearty cheese and bread platter. As you will see, this package is also considerably cheaper than the multi-winery tours above so if you are looking for something that will not break the bank then this is a great option. Check out availability and how to book here!

  • Tour Duration: 1 Hour
  • Start Time: 11am / 2pm

#6 Wine Tour From Paphos

This incredible Cyprus winery tour has 4 wineries and a stop at a famous wine village for a very competitive price compared to some of the other multi-winery tours available on this list. You start by driving up to Kathikas village where you will have the opportunity to visit the Tsangarides and Vasilikon wineries.

From there you will head to the Kamanterena Winery and then finally to the Vouni Panayia Winery. All of these stops will last around 30 minutes and you will be able to taste a variety of different wines and other alcohol. This tour does include transport from Paphos so anyone without a car should definitely be looking at this experience. Take a look at availability and how to book here!

#7 A Glass Of Cyprus

This is the most unique Cyprus winery tour available as there is no itinerary, start time, or designated stops at all! When you book, the experienced guide will discuss with you exactly what you want out of this experience. Do you know of any wineries that you want to visit? Any type of wine that you p[artcilarly want to taste? Do you want a completely tailored experience? Then this private Cyprus winery tour is the one for you.

  • Tour Duration: 4-6 Hours Approx
  • Pickup Included: Yes (Cypriot Side)
  • Tour Pace: You Decide
  • Start Time: You Decide

#8 Winery Marathon

Are you staying in Larnaca? Then this 8-hour Cpyrus winery tour will pick you up and take you into the Troodos mountains to visit 3 wineries, the wine museum, and a picturesque stop at the beautiful Omodos village. This experience is a private tour and you pay per group of 4 people. You can, of course, go with less than that but this works out to be more expensive per person so keep that in mind.

The wineries you will visit are the Ktima Vassiliades Winery, Ktima Gerolemo, and Lambouri Winery. This is a fantastic alternative to some of the other options above if you are looking for a private tour but following a similar itinerary to the highly reviewed experiences at the top of this list. See prices and availability here!

  • Tour Duration: 7-8 Hours

Cyprus Wine Tasting Tours

The following experiences have wine tasting (and some winery visits) in them but are not solely Cyprus winery tours. They include other activities, aside from the wineries/wine tasting, or are simply wine tasting without the winery aspect. If you’re looking for something a little different or something to make the most of your money then there are some fantastic options below.

#1 Wine Tasting At Your Accommodation

This tour is exactly what it says on the tin. An experienced sommelier will come to your accommodation with 5 bottles of hand-picked wine for you to taste. They will also provide cheese and fruit to go alongside the tasting.

This is a truly private and intimate experience where you will be able to ask any questions you like at your own pace. The 5 bottles will also be unopened and yours to keep at the end of the experience. If you are not too fussed about visiting the wineries themselves then this is a fantastic alternative! Check prices and availability here!

  • Tour Duration: 2 Hours
  • Pickup Included: Not Necessary
  • Start Time: 4:30 pm – 8:30 pm

#2 Larnaca Oak Tree Wine Cellar Tasting

If you are staying in Larnaca then this tour will pick you up from your accommodation and take you up to the well-known Oak Tree wine cellar. Here you will taste 10 different wines and learn about the different varieties and methods of production. This can be accompanied by a cheese platter upon request and an additional fee.

The experience takes place in the old quarter of Larnaca so you will also have the opportunity to have a walk around this beautiful part of the town before being taken back to your hotel. Check the prices, availability, and how to book here!

  • Your Pace: Medium
  • Start Time: Midday / 5 pm

#3 Blue Lagoon Boat Wine Tasting

We absolutely loved our Blue Lagoon visits during our time in Paphos and you can read more about getting to the Blue lagoon here . However, if a boat cruise to the Blue Lagoon with wine tasting and BBQ included sounds like your perfect adventure then don’t waste any more time and jump on this Blue Lagoon wine-tasting boat now!

If you don’t want to bother with organising transport to Latchi yourself then the company does provide pick-up for an additional amount from Paphos. I highly recommend this tour if going to the actual winery is not a must as you get a whole other experience as well as the wine. Click here for availability and prices!

  • Tour Duration: 4.5 hours
  • Pickup Included: Yes (Additional Fee)
  • Age Suitable For: All
  • Start Time: 9 am – 10:30 am

#4 100% Cyprus

This is an absolutely fantastic tour from Paphos into the Troodos mountains to see the architecture, monasteries, waterfalls, and more! Watch our video below to see exactly what we thought of the tour and what you can expect. It has a visit to a winery included so don’t think I forgot about the wine! Click here to see prices and availability now!

This Troodos mountains tour is very similar to 100% Cyprus but it is a little more focused on the food aspect. You will go into the mountains and have 5 unique food-tasting experiences as well as a winery visit. The team has carefully selected some of the best products available in all of Cyprus so you are absolutely in for an amazing culinary experience.

This tour is a maximum of 7 people so you can also expect a very personal and private vibe even if you are going alone. The tour offers pick-up from the four main tourist cities and you can select your location below for the tour you need.

  • Tour Duration: 7 Hours

Where To Stay For Your Cyprus Winery Tour

The best locations to get the most out of your Cyprus winery tour are, Paphos, Larnaca, Ayia Napa, or Germasogeia. This is because these locations have the most options. The best location among these four has to be Paphos. Paphos is the closest to the wine region of Cyprus and has the most options anywhere in the country.

Here are my top recommended accommodation options for these 4 locations and below that is a map to see what accommodation is available on your chosen dates!

Other Things To Do In Cyprus

Blue lagoon.

As I have said before in this article, the Blue Lagoon is a must-visit when you go to Cyprus, especially if you’re staying in Paphos. Watch the video below to see how you can get to the Blue Lagoon and our recommended activities! If you are interested in getting the self-drive boat that we did then you can find it here!

Baths Of Aphrodite

The Baths of Aphrodite are not all that interesting in themselves but the Adonis Trail that is in the same area is well worth the visit. Watch our video below to see what I mean, the views could be the best in all of Cyprus.

Are The Baths of Aphrodite in Cyprus REALLY Worth A Visit?

There are loads of boat trips available all over Cyprus. We only went to the Paphos region so you can have a look at our best Paphos boat trips here. If you are not in Paphos then I highly recommend finding a boat trip nearby, especially one of the evening dinner cruises if you are a couple.

Best Wine Tastings and Tours in Cyprus

Wines from international and indigenous grapes in Cyprus get worldwide attention. Interesting bottles to try on this island are Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Riesling. An indigenous grape highlight of the country is Mavro, a dark-skinned grape used to produce sweet wine Commandaria.

Cyprus Escape

The BEST Cyprus Wineries & Wine Tasting Experiences

Photo of author

I could write novels about Cypriot wines.

Winemaking is a tradition that goes back centuries and rumours say that Cypriots were among the first winemakers in the world.

There has to be a grain of truth in it as they are pretty good at their craft.

To their credit, the weather has something to do with it. Cyprus is blessed with over 360 days of sunshine and pretty good conditions for growing vines at higher altitudes.

I made it my mission, while living in Cyprus , to visit every winery on the island and taste all these wonderful grapes have to offer. I came pretty close I have to say!

Makarounas winery letympou

If you’re looking for some activities during your holiday in Cyprus, wine tasting should be at the top of your list!

But please beware – you will find lots of articles online about winery experiences and in my opinion, they are mostly sponsored by larger wineries and feel very much like a crowded tourist experience.

There are dozens of family wineries and businesses around the island that offer a much more personal experience, and in almost all cases – a better wine quality.

Over the years, I and my husband tasted everything that we could get our hands on until we settled on our absolute favorite – Kolios winery .

I loved the wines so much that we specifically requested them to be served at our wedding in Cyprus.

In this post, I compiled a list of my favorite wine tasting experiences around the island.

I visited each and every one of them in person and would not recommend something just because I would see it written somewhere online.

So with that out of the way, let’s dig in (feel free to enjoy with a glass of wine if the hours permit it).

Also, don’t forget to check out the rest of the articles from the Bucket List series :

Kolios Winery

kolios winery cyprus 31

This was one of the first wineries I discovered on the island and I absolutely fell in love with it.

Not just because their wines are the best tasting out of all of Cyprus produce, but also the setting of the winery is absolutely breath-taking.

The winery is a family business, the owner makes a presentation about the winery in person, every day.

He will take you to the production facilities, show you where the vine groves are and also show you the cellar and storage facilities.

His wife in the meantime, cooks up a storm in the kitchen to serve as the most delicious mezze you will ever eat.

All with this stunning view of local countryside and Troodos peaks at the edge. Last year, they’ve done a bit of an upgrade, so they now also have a summer terrace that stretches just behind the windows on the photo below.

kolios winery - wineries in Cyprus

My favorites from their wines are Saint Fotios (red) and Persefoni from whites.

kolios winery - wineries in Cyprus

To enjoy a mezze lunch with your winery tour and wine tasting, book ahead – they do cater for vegetarians too.

The food is cooked from local fresh ingredients and is absolutely delightful.

kolios winery - wineries in Cyprus

Kolios Winery is about 40-minute drive from Paphos or Limassol, the road will take you high up towards the mountains and the building is fairly easy to spot.

There shouldn’t be any problem with parking. Please call ahead and book your slot as the wine tasting and lunch only takes place at 1 pm each day except Sundays.

Kolios Winery – tel. +357 26 724090 – the location on map here. Open Monday to Saturday 9 am to 3 pm.

Vouni Panayia Winery

Vouni Panayia Winery is another family winery on the borders of Paphos and Limassol districts, further up the mountains.

Just like Kolios, the winery offers amazing views of the valley and surrounding countryside. It has a very large outdoor seating area and an additional seating area on the first floor, offering even better views and a nice breeze in summer.

The winery is relatively large and the tour of the premises is included as part of your wine tasting.

The wines are superb and I did love their zivania matured in oak casks. Looks like whiskey but tastes much much smoother. On our last visit, we got a couple of bottles as a nice gift for family and friends.

In here you can also book a mezze lunch which is served on the first floor and the terrace.

A gorgeous place with super friendly people, a welcoming atmosphere and stunning surroundings. What more can you wish for?

Vouni Panayia Winery – located in the village of Vouni Panayia, about 30 mins drive from Paphos. Tel +357 26722770 – opening hours are not listed so please book before you arrive.

vouni panayia winery - wineries in Cyprus

Tsangarides Winery

Tsangarides Winery might be a little hard to find as it’s located in a tiny village of Lemona, but it’s well worth it.

It’s the only winery that produces organic wines on the island and is located in a gorgeous old building.

It’s a very small winery but offers much more personal experience compared to its bigger brothers.

It feels like you’re visiting your family for Sunday lunch – there is a limited seating area that feels more like home and you don’t feel like a tourist vising yet another attraction.

When me and my husband visited we felt very welcomed even though we didn’t book in advance and the wines did live up to our expectations.

The village itself is super picturesque so you’re in a treat not just for wines, but for gorgeous views too.

Tsangarides Winery – open Monday to Saturday 9 am to 5 pm, call (+357) 26 722 777 to book your visit.

Tsangarides Winery Cyprus - wineries in Cyprus

Ayia Mavri Winery

Ayia Mavri was recommended to me by friends from Limassol and in all honesty, it’s the cutest one on the list.

It looks like going to grandma’s house for Sunday lunch – if it wasn’t for the signs by the road, you wouldn’t know you are visiting a winery.

The building is surrounded by cute garden and vine groves growing around it and inside you will find a tiny museum with old winery equipment, family pictures, and much more.

The owners are an older couple who prepared a feast of their wines, cheeses, bread, olives, and more.

They patiently answered all our questions and were very welcoming and friendly.

We ended up buying a few bottles of their red wines and also the organic olive oil they also offer.

Ayia Mavri Winery – the winery is open 7 days a week, from 10 am to 5 pm, but it’s best to book before you come. Reservations at (+357) 25 470 225.

The winery is located at the edge of village Koilani, near Limassol .

Wineries in Cyprus - Ayia Mavri Winery

Makarounas Winery

My last and latest discovery on the island is the boutique winery of Makarounas, also a family business.

It feels much more modern and new compared to the previous picks on the list.

We arrived on a hunch, without booking, hoping to be able to taste a few of their best wines.

We were accommodated without any issues and had a short winery tour with a few samples of their wines.

For such a small winery, they have a wonderful selection of wines, including ones from Morokanella grapes which I’ve never tasted before.

My favorite was probably the rose, which we’ve heard is called the “Provance Rose” thanks to its light colour.

This winery is on the tourist hot-list (seems like) as just before we arrived there was a crowd of tourists from a bus that left the place. If you want to visit, book yourself a time and ask for a quiet spot to enjoy a private tour, not as a part of 20-something crowd.

Makarounas Winery – you can contact them via their Facebook page to book wine tasting. There is no restaurant in the premises, but Letymbou tavern is located closeby and they have lovely food.

Makarounas winery letympou - wineries in Cyprus

Winery Experiences I Didn’t Like

Ok, I have to include this here because according to Tripadvisor some of the black sheep on my list are top-rated experiences.

Please keep in mind these are personal opinions and impressions.

What you expect from a winery experience may be very different to me. And of course, everyone has a different taste and idea of what’s considered a good wine.

I personally don’t like tourist traps disguised as genuine local gems and there is plenty falling into this category.

Some of the family wineries on the list below have lovely owners, but the influx of tourists seems to have taken a toll on the hospitality and the usually welcoming nature of locals.

Lambouri Winery

This winery is situated in the village of Platres, just at the edge of the village heading from Paphos.

The building is right by the main road and consists of one open space with tables and wine tasting stations. Upon arriving, we were not really sure where to go or who to speak to.

There was a group of tourists so we ended up going to the bar and tasting some wines.

The whole experience felt like going to a supermarket, even the person serving the wine wasn’t too keen to talk to us or tell us too much about the grapes etc.

The wine was just average, but the lack of atmosphere and zero interest from the owner just made it so much worse.

Kalamos Winery

This is a very small winery in a tiny village and even though the owner was lovely, it didn’t really feel like you’re sitting in a winery, more like a very tiny local taverna.

The wine, again, was average at best.

Vasilikon Winery

This winery near Kathikas has been recommended in many articles and I really don’t understand why.

The building has been renovated and it’s huge, they also have a small museum as part of it. It felt like it was built more to host weddings and events rather than provide a genuine winery experience.

You get to taste the wines at the bar, with limited or zero information about the winery or grapes. It also feels kind of rushed, just sitting by the bar and waiting for them to ask you if you want to taste the next one.

It feels like wine tastings are their side business, and not really the focus.

The wines were pretty good though.

The winery is boasting about their views, but all you see are fields.

Sterna Winery

Lovely looking old building, the wines were also really nice, but instead of wine glasses, we tasted a couple of wines in shot glasses.

The owner seemed like he couldn’t wait to get us out to get another set of tourists.

We ended up buying a bottle of one vintage wine but were not planning to return since we felt like we were not welcome there.

So this concludes my roundup!

I do appreciate it’s a little biased towards the Paphos side of the island since that’s where I lived and visited most wineries.

If you have further recommendations from the other areas on the island please feel free to leave a comment!

2 thoughts on “The BEST Cyprus Wineries & Wine Tasting Experiences”

I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on Fikardos. As far as the wines are concerned, we have a fondness for Ayia Mavri and Kolios, from your list of wineries. But we’ve been very much in love with Fikardos wine since before we moved here.

I liked the winery tour, it was really insightful. In terms of wine preferences, I find Kolios much more pleasant – I think its because they age the wine longer and the grapes grow at much higher altitude. But that’s just a personal preference.

What our participants say….

“We were taken to see a variety of brilliant foodie spots in quaint villages around the Troodos mountains. I’m sure we would have paid a huge amount more if we had hired a taxi driver for the day to take us from place to place and that would have been without lunch, entrance fees and tastings included. The planned itinerary and having someone to answer all your foodie questions was a huge plus and the info we were given at the end was really useful.” – Amy & Mark, Troodos Village Venture Tour

“We’ve started using private tour guides and small group experiences for our last few trips as we’ve realised the big buses are not for us. We’re really glad we chose a tour with Cyprus Taste Tours instead of saving a few euros to join a big bus full of people. We were with just 3 others and had a great day driving through the mountains tasting wine. We were introduced to all the native grape varieties and were able to buy top quality wine at phenomenal prices!” – Carol & James, Beyond The Grape Tour

“We had only walked past one of the places out of the many we were taken to on this tour and actually thought about going inside… Even if we had made a visit to this particular place by ourselves there’s absolutely no way we would have ordered what our guide chose for us – totally worth it just for the new tastes and dishes we tried. Absolutely brilliant tour!” – Tanya, Joan & Becky, Larnaca Off The Eaten Track City Walking Food Tour

“We were taken to a great variety of restaurants on our tour, places that we would never have found by ourselves. By the end of the night we’d seen so many great places and eaten so many delicious things we were stuffed… Make sure you arrive hungry! Worth EVERY penny!” – Mark & Lucy, Paphos Off The Eaten Track City Walking Food Tour

6 of the best places to visit in Cyprus for a 2024 holiday

C yprus continues to grow as a year-round tourist destination, having consolidated its reputation as an island nation with amazing weather, delightful coastal resorts and fascinating historic sites.

This island combines Mediterranean culture and cuisine with a distinctly laid-back way of life, offering tourists the ideal holiday blend of pristine beaches , characterful resorts and lively nightlife.

The capital, Nicosia, is the cultural epicentre of the country, while Paphos is its ancient historic centre, with ruins dating back centuries. You’ll find plenty of delightful beaches there too.

The Troodos Mountains offer an escape into the wilderness with picturesque villages, hiking trails and even ski slopes, while Limassol and Larnaca provide a relaxed beach resort alternative away from the party-centric town of Ayia Napa.

There are plenty of accommodation options available in all six of our Cyprus hot spots, or you can always visit on a day trip as the island is small enough to get across easily in just a few hours. Read on to find the best places to visit during your trip.

Paphos  remains one of the country’s most popular tourist destinations, with sparkling year-round weather allowing you to make the most of its Mediterranean promenade and beaches like Aphrodite’s Rock, Coral Bay or the Blue Lagoon.

The city itself comprises a charming old town (filled with colourful architecture, alfresco restaurants and great harbour views), a host of surrounding ancient ruins, a lively nightlife scene and great options for day trips such as vineyard tours or visits to other nearby towns.

Tourist highlights include the Kato Paphos Archaeological Park and its many ruins – which range from villas and mosaics to a 4th-century acropolis and the Odeon, an outdoor theatre – as well as the Chrysorrogiatissa Monastery and the Harbour Castle.

  • Best beaches and seaside holidays in Europe
  • Best family adventure holidays in Europe for adults, teens and kids

The capital is a magnificent showcase of Cypriot history, where Venetian, Ottoman and Byzantine architecture attests to the city’s complicated past. The skyline is dominated by russet-tiled roofs and walls of white and honey, with an old town surrounded by 16th-century Venetian city walls, delightful squares such as the recently redesigned Plateia Eleftherias and quaint neighbourhoods like the Chrysaliniotissa Quarter or Laïki Geitona.

Cyprus is divided into two parts by the UN-administered Green Line, which runs right through the country’s capital. The north and south of the city are separated into the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities, and the immediate area around the line is a good place to learn about recent Cypriot history.

Parts of Ottoman and Byzantine life remain today in the city’s many churches, mosques and the Hamam Omerye bathhouse . Archangelos Michail and Agios Ioannis are the main churches, while the Omeriye Mosque stands out as a working mosque that non-Muslims can visit. For the best views of both sides of the city, ascend the Shacolas Tower Observatory.

Limassol is a busier, more cosmopolitan alternative to Paphos or Larnaca. It is the second-largest city on the island, with a picturesque marina and beaches including Lady’s Mile, Dasoudi Beach and Governor’s Beach that offer safe swimming.

Stretching back from the waterfront, the city itself is a collection of white-washed buildings that line cobbled limestone streets, with a mix of high-rise buildings and preserved heritage sites. Older historic sites include Limassol Castle, Kolossi Castle and the 2,000-year-old ruins at Amathus, while you can also day-trip to the ancient ruins of Kourion, once one of the island’s most important city-kingdoms.

Larnaca lies along the southern coast of Cyprus, just east of Paphos and Limassol, so benefits from much of the same great weather and superb beaches. Standouts are Makenzy, Finikoudes, Kastella and Dhekelia.

Larnaca is probably less glamorous than its resort town neighbours, but has a solid tourist infrastructure and enough sites to keep you occupied over a long weekend (if you decide you want to leave the beach). The Leoforos Athinon is the main thoroughfare, linking the marina with Larnaka Fort – it’s lined with plenty of hotels and restaurants. Many of the city’s main sites are close by, including the Agios Lazaros (a 9th-century church), the museums of natural history and archaeology and the site of Ancient Kition, an ancient Greek city-kingdom.

Half a day can also be spent exploring areas like the Turkish Quarter, or experiencing the phenomenal scuba diving on the Zenobia, one of the best wrecks in the world. The towns of Protaras and Ayia Napa are also both within easy reach.

Protaras offers more of a laid-back, family-friendly alternative to the well-known party atmosphere of Ayia Napa. It is smaller too, stretching from Fig Tree Bay in the south to Trinity Bay in the north (just over 10 minutes’ drive up the coast). There are plenty of other bits of attractive coastline too, including the blue glag beaches of Konnos Bay and Pernera.

Many of the activities in Protaras are aimed at families, with mini-golf courses, amusement arcades and the Ocean Aquarium all within easy reach. The Konnos Nature Trail offers opportunities for hiking, while Cape Greco is the place to go for the best coastal views. The Church of Profitis Ilias, perched on a hill overlooking the coast, offers one of the most scenic views in town.

Troodos Mountains

This mountain range shows a different side to Cyprus, with quiet mountain villages surrounded by dense pine forest and medieval churches sitting alongside historic monasteries. Cooler temperatures allow for summer hiking and, in the winter months, you can even go skiing on the slopes of Mount Olympus, Cyprus’s tallest peak.

The main settlement here is Troodos village, which sits just under Mount Olympus, and this is the best base for tourists. Some of the most desirable villages to visit include Fikardou, Pedoulas and Agros, all of which are well-preserved and filled with churches and russet-roofed buildings that hug the verdant hills. Hiking trails in the area to check out include the Caledonia, Millomeris and Artemis.
