Itinerary
10:00
You’ll take a drive from Limassol through the nearby Phassouri citrus plantations, where the air is filled with the sweets scents of lemons and limes. Then you’ll continue up the lower mountain foothills to the picturesque village of Omodhos.
Here, you’ll start your visit at the large cobbled village square which is dominated by the impressive Monastery of the Holy Cross. Inside, you’ll have the chance to view the precious relics donated by St Helena that are said to come from the Crucifixion. After visiting the Monastery, take the short stroll to see the traditional wine press (called “linos” in Cyprus) where your guide will explain how wine was made in the old-fashioned way.
Omodhos offers a great opportunity for shoppers. The village square is surrounded by many small stores selling souvenirs, lace and embroidery, wine and traditional local products. You’ll have plenty of time to browse and buy souvenirs and memories from your time on the island.
Your tour continues to Lania, an atmospheric village with a pretty church, where you’ll enjoy a short walking tour and many opportunities for photographs along its pretty lanes.
Then your drive back through the rolling hills towards the port at Limassol offers beautiful panoramic views of the sweep of the bay.
