What the Troodos Village Venture tour involves…

On this day tour you’ll be picked up from a location of your choice and driven around a variety of carefully selected villages to visit traditional product workshops and taste a variety of Cypriot delicacies. You’ll learn about the sourcing of ingredients, the making process and the traditions linked to the products. Part of our touring will be a visit to traditional village (e.g. Lefkara / Omodos / Kakopetria / Letymvou*) where you’ll have time to explore the craft shops and see the sites. Along the way we’ll stop at a local village tavern to feast on a selection of Cypriot dishes with a full meze lunch.
