Discover the beautiful, unspoilt and mysterious
AKAMAS PENINSULA, an adventure not to be missed!
After collecting you from your hotels between
8.30 and 8.45am our first stop will be at GEORGE'S REPTILE PARK in Peyia. Here
you will have the chance to see and learn more about the different species of reptiles
inhabiting the island of Cyprus!
After the informative guided tour at the park, it
is time for a coffee at the nearby cafeteria, before making our way off the beaten track
towards the AVAGAS GORGE, with its sheer limestone walls rising above you to the
height of 30 metres! A short drive will take us to one the most beautiful beaches on the
island, LARA BAY, also one of the last breeding grounds for the large GREEN
BACKED TURTLES, who come ashore every year to lay their eggs! You will have the
opportunity to visit the hatchery.
Off the beaten track through the AKAMAS FOREST
we will continue our journey to a tiny village called NEO CHORION. By now it is
LUNCHTIME!! You will all be hungry now so enjoy a delicious Cypriot lunch (with wine of
course!) in a small traditional old stone taverna. Relax and enjoy!!
After lunch we'll have a short walk through the
village where you might have the chance to still see the women engaging in the crafts of
pottery making, weaving and the age-old methods of making marmalade!
Time for some eternal youth and beauty now! A
visit to Cyprus would not be complete without a trip to the BATHS OF APHRODITE.
Via the little back roads we will take you to this magical place, where, according to
legend, the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite, used to bather with her lover Adonis.
After all this excitement it is now time for a
much needed refreshing swim in the cool, tranquil waters of one of the gorgeous bays in
this area, before heading back to Paphos by driving through the little villages
scattered around the AKAMAS PENINSULA!
Please Note: Swimming is weather
permitting only. Sensible shoes, swimwear and towels required. We are great admirers of
the way George runs the reptile park, therefore we ask our guests that a donation of

coffee and tea in one of the local coffeeshops also.

How about an exploring trip to the GREEN HEART of
Cyprus in a 4x4 Land Rover Defender! A safari to the beautiful TROODOS MOUNTAINS
is a must for every visitor to the island of Cyprus!
We will come to collect you from your hotels
between 8.15 - 8.30am and our first stop will be the little village of Panayia, where
you will have the opportunity to visit the house where ARCHBISHOP MAKARIOS III,
the first president of Cyprus, was born. The house has now been turned into a small
museum.
Afterwards its time to join the local villagers
for a coffee in one of the village tavernas! Off the beaten track we will now continue
our journey through one of the most beautiful areas of Cyprus, the CEDAR VALLEY,
where you will find thousands of enormous cedar trees, centuries old, and with any luck
we might catch sight of a MOUFFLON wild sheep, unique to the Mediterranean,
living in small groups in the Kykko and Paphos forests!
Coming to the end of our drive through the
magnificent Cedar Valley, in the midst of a pine forest some 3750 feet above sea level
we'll find the famous KYKKOS MONASTERY. The biggest and richest monastery on the
island houses the Icon of the Virgin Mary, painted by St. Luke!
At a higher point not far from the monastery is
the Tomb of the late Archbishop Makarios III. Time for lunch now! After a short drive
through the picturesque mountain villages we arrive at PRODROMOS, where Harris
will serve his delicious home made dishes accompanied of course with wine! Relax and
enjoy!
After this well deserved rest and lovely food we
are now heading via TROODOS SQUARE towards one of the most beautiful old villages
in Cyprus. OMODHOS, which is famous for its true Cypriot architecture and its old
wine press. Here we'll have time to stroll around the village. have a coffee, or for the
