Highlights

De rots van Aphrodite, de geboorteplaats van de godin van de liefde, is de perfecte romantische plek om 's avonds iets te drinken
In een gezellige familietaverna in Kouklia smul je van typisch Cypriotische mezes
Je krijgt de kans om helemaal los te gaan op de klanken van traditionele Cypriotische volksmuziek
Op deze avond meng je je onder de lokale bevolking en kom je meer te weten over hun eeuwenoude tradities en cultuur
De tour wordt geleid door een deskundige lokale gids met een ongeëvenaarde kennis van Cyprus en de oude legendes

Dit kun je verwachten

Typische mezes, muziek en dans – deze tocht heeft alle ingrediënten voor een echte ouderwetse Cypriotische avond. En alsof dat nog niet genoeg is, nip je eerst van een drankje met uitzicht op de Rots van Aphrodite – de geboorteplaats van de mythische godin van de liefde. Alexia, een van onze deskundige lokale gidsen, zegt: "In de taverna kom je samen met de lokale bevolking en proef je hun cultuur en dans. Niets is beter dan de 100% authentieke keuken bereid door de vrouwen van het dorp, net zoals ze thuis koken". Ga met ons mee voor een muzikale avond om nooit te vergeten in een van de populairste taverna's van het gebied.

Eerst maak je een korte rit naar Petra tou Romiou – zoals de Rots van Aphrodite plaatselijk wordt genoemd. Je heft het glas bij deze mythische rotsformatie in het avondlicht en nipt van een glas bubbels. Een feest ter ere van de godin', zoals Alexia zegt. Daarna rij je naar Kouklia, een klein stukje landinwaarts vanaf de kust, voor een Cypriotisch diner met een verschil.

Op het eerste gezicht is het een typische familie taverna. Je krijgt er zowat elk Cypriotisch gerecht voorgeschoteld dat je je maar kunt wensen. De nadruk ligt op pure ingrediënten en traditionele mezes – bereid zoals ze dat al generaties lang doen – samen met lokale wijnen. Maar 's zomers neemt de familie de straat over en worden er feesten georganiseerd met folkloristische muziek en dans. Doe eens lekker gek en dans samen met de lokale bevolking op het terras. Een avondje uit zoals een Cypriotische avond uit moet zijn.

Het was een leuke excursie, maar niks bijzonders. We hadden ons meer voorgesteld van het eten maar wij vonden het tegenvallen. Gortdroge kip en het leek niet op een meze zoals die hoort te zijn.

The trip never happened for us, as we weren't picked up. After speaking to one of the representatives on the help line and giving all our details, we were informed the the bus had arrived, couldn't see us so left without us ......... even though all 4 of us were 20 mins early and stood waiting for 60 mins (thought they might be running a little late`) in the designated pick up spot. Very disappointed, as I'm sure the trip would have been great.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Explorer-Inspired Family Snorkel Quest in Cyprus

As you gaze at the clear, turquoise waters of Paphos Harbour, it's easy to imagine Mother Nature has everything under control. But she could do with your helping hand to balance the human impact on the seas. This conservation-based snorkelling experience has been developed exclusively for National Geographic Day Tour guests and invites you and your family to do more than simply admire and swim in the Mediterranean. It's your chance to learn about and care for the sea and everything that calls it home.You'll begin by meeting a local marine biologist, your guide on this conservation quest. He'll tell you about Dr. Emily Duncan, a National Geographic Explorer, whose research on plastics and the local turtles is the inspiration for this tour. You'll learn about threats to these creatures and the wider ocean's ecosystem and what you can do to help turn the tide and protect them.You'll set sail armed with a waterproof board and pen to help identify and record different species among the seagrass meadows and rocky reefs. During this guided 90-minute experience, which includes the boat ride and snorkelling time, you'll be on the lookout for rainbow wrasse, blue-spotted cornet fish and endangered loggerhead and green sea turtles. As fun as filling in your fishy bingo card is, you'll be contributing important research to the Citizen Science Initiative and supporting the conservation of precious marine life. Round off the tour with an eco-pledge, empowering you to care for and protect the oceans for generations to come.

Kourion Ruins, Kolossi Castle and winery visit from Paphos

The myths of Cyprus come to life on this tour. You'll see where a legend was born, visit the ruins of Kourion, venture to the village of Omodos and cap off the day with a tasting at a family-run winery. Eva, one of our local guides, says of this excursion, ‘You'll wander through layers of history, culture and mythology, and learn about Aphrodite, the goddess of love. The rituals connected with her as well as the plants and seashells associated with her.'You'll dive straight into the past to see Petra tou Romiou, a sea stack where, local legend has it, the goddess Aphrodite was born. The ancient past takes on a more tangible form at Kourion, one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Cyprus. Visit its Roman baths and amble into its centrepiece, the Greco-Roman theatre. It's still used for concerts. And up next is the Crusader-built Kolossi Castle, which belonged to the Knights Templar from the 14th century.Lunch is in a family-owned restaurant. It's as famed for its country fare made from locally sourced ingredients as it is for its scenic location in the hills. Then, we'll head to the mountain-nestled village of Omodos, where you'll have free time to wander around skinny cobbled streets lined with Byzantine buildings. And to round off the day, we'll visit the winery. Here, you'll sample some of its award-winning wines, including the commandaria variety, which Richard the Lionheart baptised as the ‘wine of kings and the king of wines'.

Troodos Mountains tour with Kykkos Monastery visit and lunch

The journey into the Troodos Mountains is a journey to another Cyprus. Rustic stone villages dot tree-clad valleys where traditional ways of life still hold sway. This tour takes you into the spiritual heart of the highlands, the Kykkos Monastery, as well as up to Throni Hill. Alexia, one of our local guides, says, ‘The icon of the Virgin Mary at Kykkos is considered miraculous, so at least once a year, it's important for Cypriots to visit the church.'As you go into the depths of the Troodos, you'll encounter luxuriant landscapes which contrast with the arid coast. You'll head to the Kykkos Monastery first. Perched on Mount Kykkos, it's laden with religious treasures, and you won't be able to keep your eyes off the golden icons and frescoes – except for the icon of the Virgin Mary. It's kept under wraps, with the last known viewing being hundreds of years ago. You'll also have free time to wander around the grounds and enjoy the panoramic views of the mountains. What's more, your visit helps the preservation of this important heritage site.We'll then visit the hilltop tomb of Archbishop Makarios III. Superb views greet you before the drive down to the village of Pedoulas. Here, you'll enjoy a typical Cypriot lunch made from locally sourced ingredients in a family-run restaurant. There's time for an optional walk up to the richly decorated Orthodox church of the Holy Cross, then we'll head back with a coffee stop at Pano Platres en route.

Evening drink at Aphrodite's Rock and Cypriot folk dinner

Tasty meze, music and dancing – this trip has all the ingredients for a right old Cypriot night. And if that wasn't enough, it all comes after a drink overlooking Aphrodite's Rock – birthplace of the mythical goddess of love. Alexia, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘At the taverna, you'll get together with the locals and feel their culture and dance. Nothing is better than the 100% authentic cuisine cooked by the women of the village, just like they cook at home.' Join us for a knees-up to remember in one of the area's most popular tavernas.We'll kick off with a short drive towards Petra tou Romiou – as Aphrodite's Rock is known locally. Clink glasses at this mythical sea stack and enjoy the evening light while sipping on a sparkling wine. ‘A celebration in honour of the goddess,' as Alexia says. You'll then head to the village of Kouklia, a short drive inland from the coast, for a Cypriot dinner with a difference.A first sight, it's a typical family-run taverna. You'll get to savour just about every Cypriot dish you could possibly wish for. The emphasis is on pure ingredients and traditional meze – cooked the way they've been for generations – washed down with local wines. But on summer evenings, the family takes over the street, hosting feasts of folkloric music and dancing. Let your hair down and join the locals with some boogying and shaking on the outdoor terrace. As nights out go, it's a showstopper.

Caledonia Waterfalls tour with hike and Cypriot lunch

The lush, cool forest that carpets the Troodos Mountains is an ideal escape near Paphos. A perfect contrast to the beach, you'll journey along a scenic route into the hills, where your destination is the village of Platres. Here, you'll set off on a 3km hike along the stream to the Caledonia Falls, followed by a traditional lunch at Psilo Dendro restaurant. Andri, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘You'll enjoy the journey as much as the destination on this hike, which follows and criss-crosses a stream over a series of little bridges all the way to the waterfall.'We'll get the tour started on a refreshing note with a stop at Kolossi Fruit Garden. Here you'll have the chance to try some fresh lemonade and buy fruit before continuing further into the mountains to the pretty hilltop village of Platres. This is the starting point for the nature trail, which traces the bubbling Kryos Potamos stream through the trees. You'll be glad of sturdy footwear as you head along the scenic trail, which is quite uneven in places with some rocks, roots and rivulets to keep it interesting.It's a forest walk in dappled shade, leading through a variety of gnarly trees including pines and strawberry trees. Once you reach the Caledonia Falls, you'll be able to take a break - and have a paddle if you wish - at the shaded freshwater pool, then continue to the famous Psilo Dendro restaurant with its very own trout farm. Relax over lunch – needless to say, trout is a speciality – and end the day on a high.
