Day 1 : Arrival Paphos (13Km – 30Min)

Accommodation: Hotel


Welcome to Cyprus! Upon landing at Paphos Airport, a tour representative will meet and greet you before guiding you to the transfer to your hotel. Settle in your room before spending the rest of this first day at leisure (private transfer from Larnaca Airport is available at additional cost).

Overnight in Paphos.

Day 2 : Paphos – Caledonia Waterfalls – Paphos (170Km – 3.5Hrs By Coach / 2Hrs Hike)

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch


Wake up to a tasty breakfast at the hotel, and hop on the coach for your first adventure! The first stop of the day will be at Kolossi fruit plantation where you will 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 follows the bubbling Kryos Potamos stream through the verdant forest for 3km. Once you reach the Caledonia Falls, you'll be able to take a break by the shaded freshwater retreat, then keep going to the famous Psilo Dendro restaurant with its very own trout farm. Relax over lunch – needless to say, trout is a speciality – and enjoy an amble through Platres village before returning to Paphos.

Overnight in Paphos.

Day 3 : Paphos – Akamas Peninsula – Paphos (90Km – 3Hrs)

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast


There’s only one way to explore the wild Akamas Peninsula, by 4x4. Join in on this bumpy adventure as you go off-road down dirt tracks and over potholes. First up is Lara Beach. It's the location of a turtle conservation project, which has been protecting endangered sea turtles for decades. Next, your guide will drive you to Latchi harbour, where you'll board a boat to the Blue Lagoon. With clear, turquoise waters this bay is a great swimming spot. You might see turtles here, too. Once you get back to Latchi, you'll have a traditional meze-style lunch in a local restaurant. Then, you'll hop back into the 4x4 to visit the steeped-in-legend Baths of Aphrodite. Set on top of a hill with views over the peninsula, it's said this is the spot where the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite, met her lover, Adonis.

Overnight in Paphos.

Day 4 : Paphos: City Tour

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast


Join a professional guide for a small group tour on an electric scooter through the historic alleys and streets of Paphos. After a safety briefing and test drive of your two-wheel roller, it's time to roll out into the city in style. You'll see the former Byzantine castle and Kato Paphos Archaeological Park where the preserved mosaics and ruins are mesmerising. You'll hear stories and anecdotes about the entire historic area and there are plenty of stops for photos along the way. Afterwards, you'll glide along the romantic shoreline, and in just two hours you'll have seen so much more of this UNESCO World Heritage Site than if you'd ventured out on foot. And for complete flexibility, you can choose between a morning or afternoon tour.
