    We have visites two markets, it was great, except the guide was not really a guide. Just a person to answer questions eventually

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed visiting the markets. We appreciate your comments regarding the guiding and will take them into consideration. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again on another tour in Cyprus.

    an exotic Christmas to enjoy

    This was a great experience. The first two stops were connecting my roots with Cyprus: at the first one we saw a Maramures timber church (my mother is from Maramures). Unfortunately the Christmas houses and the shop were already closed, being January. At the second one I could buy kürtös kalács in an original fashion, with orange instead of nuts. Also the village of Phicardou is a very interesting one in stone, and, if I am not wrong, it is in the dry stone construction intangible architectural heritage. I was anyway able to buy a Commandaria wine. The third stop, which was the longest, was in the village of Pano Lefkara. This is a bigger settlement but I went down to the Holy Cross church and near it I was able to find the shop of a 83 years old woman teaching a younger women how to make lefkarika. This embroidery is now inspiring the Cyprus presidency logo which just started. There is also another motiv, sometimes combined, which is connected to Leonardo da Vinci, who visited the island and used the motiv in Milan and the Last Supper. I spend several years as Marie Curie fellow in Pavia which is near Milan, since there Leonardo draw his Vitruvius man, so it is said, and also visited the Last Supper. After that, I went on his footsteps in Florence and saw the interactive show in Bucharest. I ate in the Leonardo da Vinci pizzeria in Pano Lefkara a Cyprus pizza. At the end of my pizzeria stay a guy came to play a Cyprus instrument. Overall as said, great, and a very good way to forget about problems at work. The programme was just at a right pace, not too much rush and not too slow, so we used to be in time but could enjoy, which is rare today. We returned at sunset to Larnaca. The Christmas cities are also marked as such with great photo spots. The Nusskracker is very present as a motiv in Cyprus, so I am glad that I came with my huszár jacket and the blue jeans are suitable for it. It was good also for the cake in Phicardou.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review! We're delighted to hear that this tour was such a great experience for you. Thank you once again for choosing Adventures Cyprus. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable journey across the island in the future! 😊

    Great visit in December!

    I had a wonderful day with Katarina as our driver/tour guide! She had a wealth of information to share. She made extra stops along the way where we can appreciate the views of the Trodos mountains and Larnaca. I enjoyed the monestary quick visit as well. The Christmas markets were wonderful and unique. I enjoyed each and wished I had more time in the second and third Christmas markets. I loved the visit to the Rose factory as well! Had a wonderful day and bought some great souvenirs and gifts!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We're delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable day. It's also great to know that you enjoyed the Christmas markets, the monastery, and the visit to the Rose Factory. Thank you for choosing Adventures Cyprus. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure!

    A Festive Adventure Through Troodos: Truly Exceptional Experience

    This Christmas 2024 excursion was extremely well planned and truly enjoyable from start to finish. The tour was conducted privately in a comfortable 6-seater van, which made the whole experience relaxed and personal. Our tour guide was highly professional, knowledgeable, and added a lot of value to every stop. We visited beautiful villages like Lefkara, Fikardou, Agros, and Kyperounta — each with its own charm, Christmas markets, and unique local traditions. From historic cobblestone streets to stunning Troodos mountain views, every moment felt special. The optional lunch at a traditional Cypriot tavern was also a highlight. Overall, an unforgettable holiday experience that I can highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable Christmas tour and that every part of the experience met your expectations. Thank you for your kind recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Cyprus for another unforgettable adventure with Adventures Cyprus!

    mountain Christmas villages tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Larnaca.

    How much does mountain Christmas villages tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $74 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Larnaca usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does mountain Christmas villages tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Larnaca is not rushed.

    Is mountain Christmas villages tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Larnaca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule mountain Christmas villages tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is mountain Christmas villages tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book mountain Christmas villages tour?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Larnaca can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Larnaca and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does mountain Christmas villages tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Larnaca within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Larnaca?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Larnaca experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Troodos Mountains Villages: All Inclusive Food & Wine Day Tour, Cape Greco Blue Lagoon and Ayia Napa Tour, FAB Private Customized Tours Cyprus from Larnaca city. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Larnaca?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Larnaca?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in mountain Christmas villages tour?

    +

    Included: In-person guide is also the driver; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does mountain Christmas villages tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 14 listed pickup locations in and around Larnaca. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
