We begin our day with a visit to Yeroskipou and the Church of Ayia Paraskevi, a stunning 9th-century Byzantine church with five domes and ancient frescoes.  Then explore a traditional loukoumia (Cyprus delights) workshop and watch how this famous sweet is made. Enjoy a tasting of different flavours!

Continue to a small village north of Paphos, where we will visit a traditional home with its original furniture and costumes.  Experience hands-on halloumi and bread making, and learn the secrets of handcrafted halloumi cheese. Bake village-style bread in a stone oven.  Then enjoy a homemade Cypriot brunch with halloumi, village bread, olives, and traditional Cypriot coffee.  (included in the price)

Next, we will visit the Saint Neophytos monastery and the Enkleistra, a cave carved out of the mountain in the 12th century by the hermit Neophytos, which contains some of the finest Byzantine frescoes. The main church of the monastery was built around 200 years after the death of St Neophytos and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Enjoy the panoramic views of the surrounding area.

Visit Paphos old town, where we visit the Ottoman Baths, a historic 17th-century hammam that tells the story of past civilizations.  Walk along the famous Street Art Wall, where contemporary murals reflect the culture and traditions of Cyprus.
