In the morning I was picked up by a clean air-conditioned bus not far from my accommodation and taken to the port of Latchi. Along the way we could admire the landscapes of spring Cyprus. The boat was clean, well-maintained and all the decks were covered with a safe non-slip surface. Before arriving at the Blue Lagoon, we enjoyed a wonderful cruise along the Akamas coast. In the Blue Lagoon we had an hour to swim, relax or ride the water slide in the sea on the boat. It was very nice when the captain treated us…”

Una cosa inaspettata è non prevista dal tour, ma tanto apprezzata è stata la degustazione di vini in una cantina. La guida gentilissima e disponibile .”

10.PAPHOS: Troodos Mountains “Monasteries & Villages” by coach

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 19 reviews · 8 hours · from $44

Travel from Paphos into the pine-covered Troodos Mountains with an English-speaking guide. See Chrysorrogiatissa and Kykkos monasteries, the Tomb of Makarios III, Troodos, and Omodos. Hotel transfers are included, but meals and entrance fees cost extra.

“Slightly difficult to understand the guide at times. Trip itself was good. Nice to see the Mountains and the monasteries. Slight issue was the trip tried to force you to eat at a particular restaurant - it was a single restaurant with nothing else close. Would have been better to pick a restaurant in the town where alternatives would have been available. Would have been better to also visit the village of Troodos which I had read was very scenic but overall a good trip.”
