The myths of Cyprus come to life on this tour. You’ll see where a legend was born, visit the ruins of Kourion, venture to the village of Omodos and cap off the day with a tasting at a family-run winery. Eva, one of our local guides, says of this excursion, ‘You’ll wander through layers of history, culture and mythology, and learn about Aphrodite, the goddess of love. The rituals connected with her as well as the plants and seashells associated with her.’
You’ll dive straight into the past to see Petra tou Romiou, a sea stack where, local legend has it, the goddess Aphrodite was born. The ancient past takes on a more tangible form at Kourion, one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Cyprus. Visit its Roman baths and amble into its centrepiece, the Greco-Roman theatre. It’s still used for concerts. And up next is the Crusader-built Kolossi Castle, which belonged to the Knights Templar from the 14th century.
Lunch is in a family-owned restaurant. It’s as famed for its country fare made from locally sourced ingredients as it is for its scenic location in the hills. Then, we’ll head to the mountain-nestled village of Omodos, where you’ll have free time to wander around skinny cobbled streets lined with Byzantine buildings. And to round off the day, we’ll visit the winery. Here, you’ll sample some of its award-winning wines, including the commandaria variety, which Richard the Lionheart baptised as the ‘wine of kings and the king of wines’.
