An exploring trip of the Green heard of Cyprus in a 4x4 Landrover Defender
We begin our journey traveling through rugged hills and valleys, various picturesque villages & pine forests reaching some of the most remote places on the island. A thrilling drive towards Platres will bring us to the waterfalls, located in a paradise like spot with its lush vegetation, cool spring waters and lovely scents. The tour continues to the island's highest peak, Mount Olympus. At an altitude of 1951 meters, we stand on the throne of the Ancient Gods and marvel at the panoramic views.
Our next stop will be for a relaxing lunch at a traditional mountain village. We continue west of Pedoulas village until we arrive at the famous Kykkos Monastery, which houses the icon of the Virgin Mary, painted by St. Luke. Then we head for a wine producing village where, we will have our last coffee break before making our way back to the hotels. Several photo stops will give you the chance to take amazing pictures.
Please note that modest attire is required when visiting monasteries and churches, i.e. no shorts or low-cut blouses.
