Dit kun je verwachten

Op Cyprus vind je enorm belangrijke oude Griekse en Romeinse sites. En op deze dagtocht bekijk je de Rots van Aphrodite, het oude Paphos en de Koningsgraven. Ook zie je de archeologische site van Kourion en heb je de tijd aan jezelf in het havengebied van Paphos. Andreas, een van onze deskundige lokale gidsen, zegt: "De koningsgraven bieden ons een waardevol inzicht in de oude mediterrane cultuur. In Alexandrië zijn er tombes gevonden die hier heel veel op lijken. En dit is een bewijs voor de sterke banden tussen de twee steden in de oudheid”.

Na een koffiepauze onderweg, bezoek je de archeologische site van Kourion. Je ziet indrukwekkende monumenten zoals het theater - dat dateert uit de 2e eeuw voor Christus - en de Agora. En op weg naar Paphos maak je de mooiste foto's bij Petra tou Romiou - ofwel de Rots van Aphrodite. Hier zou volgens de legende, Aphrodite uit het zeeschuim tevoorschijn zijn gekomen. Andreas voegt eraan toe: "In Kourion zie je de overblijfselen van het huis van Eustolios en ontdek je hoe het leven hier was voordat de stad in de 4e eeuw door een aardbeving werd verwoest”.

Vervolgens ga je naar het oude Paphos en bezoek je samen met een gids de Koningsgraven, het Huis van Dionysos en de goed bewaarde mozaïeken. Andreas zegt: "De in de rotsen uitgehouwen koningsgraven waren eigenlijk niet bedoeld voor koningen. In plaats daarvan werden leden van de aristocratie en gouverneurs van het eiland hier te rusten gelegd”. Maar de naam zegt alles over de grandeur van de necropolis. Dan heb je vrije tijd om wat te shoppen en rond te kijken in de haven van Paphos. Maak een wandeling langs het water of eet een hapje bij een van de vele terrasjes.

    Die Tour «Ancient Kourion Tour with Paphos Town» liess den Teil «Paphos Town» komplett aus! Der Guide begründete dies mit Zeitmangel und der Behauptung, keine Altstadt sei mehr vorhanden. Guide Andreas war zwar sehr geschichtsbewandert, trat jedoch oberlehrerhaft auf und bestrafte Nichtwissen der Teilnehmer mit langen Wartezeiten auf seine Antwort.

    The "free time" in Paphos was disappointing in fact non existent. We were looking forward to seeing Paphos so and a quarter to have lunch and walk round was not enough in fact we had just enough time to eat and rush back to the coach. The rest of the excursion was fantastic the guide was very informative and knowledgeable as well as being a bit of a joker which kept most on the tour very interested. The 4 exhibits we visited did feel a bit rushed so maybe consider splitting, a day for excursions

Ancient Kourion tour with Paphos Harbour visit

Cyprus is home to some hugely important ancient Greek and Roman sites. On this tour, you'll take in Aphrodite's Rock, ancient Paphos and the Tombs of the Kings, visit Kourion – and enjoy free time in the Paphos harbour area. Andreas, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The Tombs of the Kings offer us a valuable insight into ancient Mediterranean culture. There are very similar tombs in Alexandria, demonstrating the strong ties between the two cities in ancient times.'After a coffee pit-stop along the way, you'll stop by Kourion archaeological site to see landmarks such as the theatre – dating from the 2nd century BC – and the Agora. En route to Paphos, there's a photo stop at Petra tou Romiou – or Aphrodite's Rock – where, legend has it, the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty emerged from the sea foam. Andreas says, ‘At Kourion, you see the ruined house of Eustolios and find out what life was like here before the city was destroyed by an earthquake in the 4th century.'Next, we'll head to ancient Paphos for a guided visit of the Tombs of the Kings, the House of Dionysos and its well-preserved mosaics. Andreas says, ‘The rock-hewn Tombs of the Kings were not actually intended for royalty, but instead the aristocracy and island governors were laid to rest here. The name reflects the sheer grandeur of the necropolis.' Later, you'll enjoy some free time to shop and wander around Paphos Harbour. Maybe you can stroll along the waterfront or grab a bite to eat at one of the many terrace cafés.

Next, you'll head to the 12th-century Macharias Monastery, which is located on a remote hillside. Its lavishly decorated interior houses a sacred icon of the Virgin Mary.Then, it's time for a traditional Cypriot lunch, prepared with locally sourced ingredients and served at a family-run restaurant on the way to Lefkara. The tour ends on a high in charming Lefkara, a village famed for its handmade lace and embroidery. ‘Women, young and old, can be seen seated outside their homes and shops making lace,' says Stavroula. ‘For hundreds of years, the men from the village have travelled all over Europe to sell it, even Leonardo da Vinci bought some.'

Caledonia Waterfalls full-day tour with local guide and lunch

Caledonia Waterfalls full-day tour with local guide and lunch

Trade the beach for the cool, shaded vibes of the Troodos Mountains – where nature's about to blow your mind. We're talking a three-kilometre hike, leading you to Caledonia Falls, one of Cyprus's tallest and most beautiful waterfalls, before heading to the village of Platres for a tasty, traditional lunch. Andi, one of our expert local guides, says, "You'll love the hike as much as the destination – it's like stepping into a fairytale, with cute little bridges crisscrossing along the stream all the way to the waterfall." But first, you'll kick things off at Kolossi Fruit Garden. Think juicy fruit and zesty lemonade to get you prepped for the adventure ahead. As you wind through the forest, the bubbling Kryos Potamos stream keeps you company – it's the perfect backdrop for those Insta-gold pics, almost like the Greek Gods are keeping tabs on you. You'll delve deeper along the forest nature tail, among old pines and strawberry trees, until reaching the showstopper – Caldonia Falls. Here, you can dip your toes in the shaded freshwater pool, snap some pics, and soak up the magic. The falls were named by a Scottish expedition in 1878, who were so wowed by how much it reminded them of home, they named it after Caledonia, the Roman name for Scotland. Afterwards, you'll head to Psilo Dendro, in Platres, for a well-deserved lunch. With its own trout farm, the fish here is as fresh as it gets – the perfect way to wrap up your mountain adventure.
