CYPRUS
The best of Cyprus.
The 10 paphos day tours we would book first in Cyprus, with what each one involves, who runs it, and what it costs.
Blue Lagoon (Akamas) day tour from Paphos by bus and boat, with snorkel, water slide, shipwreck stops, Aphrodite Baths, fruit, pickup.
“Everything was so great. We were picked up from the hotel we were staying at and taken to every point as scheduled, and where we had such great fun.”
From Paphos to Troodos: Aphrodite’s Rock, halloumi in Lofou, Omodos, a monastery, waterfall, and included wine tasting.
“It's really worth it! You get the chance to get an insight into the villages in the mountains. All well organized. The guide (half British, half Cypriot) was amazing. Thank you!”
Blue Lagoon cruise with Aphrodite’s Baths, shipwreck stops, and hotel pickup from Paphos. Clear waters, guided timing, great value.
“Was a lovely day trip and beautiful swimming location. The trip did feel very rushed and because some individuals who couldn’t be bothered to listen to the departure times at the selected places the poor tour guide had to remind them that it’s not just their trip. We had expected longer out on the boat…”
Troodos Mountains day trip from Paphos with Chrysoroyiatissa, Throni and Kykkos monasteries, plus Pedoulas and Omodos villages. From $66.
“Great day out. Sophia and Adamos were excellent. Our guide was full of interesting information and it made the day run really well. Was good that we never felt rushed.”
Adults-only Ocean Flyer VIP Cruise from Paphos: hotel pickup, champagne welcome, open bar, buffet lunch, and West Coast swim stops.
“This was a really great day sailing around Cyprus.”
A full-day trip from Paphos to Salamis, Famagusta, and Varosha, with border crossing, guided walks, and included entrance tickets.
“The sites were cool to see, but I wished we had more time in the abandoned city. Lunch was decent. The rating I’m giving is solely for the sites we saw. My lower rating stems from the conduct of the guide, Hermione. Our group wasn’t big. When I first got on the bus, she asked…”
Jeep safari from Paphos into Akamas National Park with Avakas Gorge hike, Lara Bay turtles, sea caves, a swim stop, and the Edro III shipwreck.
“The experience didn’t include the Avakas Gorge as it’s shut and has been shut for the last 15 days. The advert said it included a hike in the Avakas but the company did not bother to inform in advance that it was shut.”
Blue Lagoon cruise from Latchi with a boat slide, onboard music, snorkeling help, and Paphos hotel transfers plus drinks and fruit.
“Amazing! Fabulous boat trip, picked up in an air conditioned coach with a great driver, lovely sight seeing travelling to pick up other guests on the way. The boat trip itself was beautiful, the sea is brilliant blue and when you reach the blue lagoon it looks like a paradise, the sea is aqua and…”
Early-bird Paphos Segway tour covers Harbour Castle, Kato Paphos sites, St Paul’s Pillar and Ottoman Baths in a small group.
“All of it! Learning to ride a Segway, with excellent instruction. Seeing and hearing about the local sites from a knowledgeable guide. Visiting a part of Pafos we would probably not to have thought to visit.”
Ride a buggy or quad through Paphos’ coast and hills, stop by Riccos Beach, a dam, and Cypriot villages for coffee.
“This was the best activity we chose to do for our family in the past 10 days. The bad weather did not eliminate the fun we had. The beach, the route through mountains and valleys, the food at a village cafe, and the hospitality of Costas were all amazing. I highly recommend this experience of…”
