Agios Neophytos Monastery
Founded in the 12th century by the hermit Neophytos the Recluse, this remarkable monastery began as a simple cave carved into the rock, known as the Enkleistra. Seeking solitude, Neophytos lived here in prayer and study, later becoming an important writer who documented life in Byzantine Cyprus. The cave is decorated with impressive frescoes dating from the 12th and 15th centuries, many of which are still preserved today. A visit offers a peaceful and unique experience. Guests can step inside the Enkleistra to see the saint’s original living space, chapel, and tomb. The monastery also features a quiet courtyard, a traditional church, and beautiful views over the surrounding valley. The calm atmosphere makes it a perfect, relaxing stop that combines history, culture, and natural beauty.

Fun Family Day
This was one of those days out that was so memorable. It was only ourselves and another family and Reno was a very good guide. We went to several stops and he explained about the history and was happy to answer questions, he was very relaxed with timings and was happy for us to take our time looking around. The highlight was the Botanical gardens, we were made to feel so welcome and it felt like we were made to feel at home whilst we were there. A slice of Paradise worth exploring. This ended up being a full day of exploring and was more than we expected, partly because the time spent at the Botanical gardens and the relaxed atmosphere meaning it was hard for us to alll leave to go back to the hotel. My daughter had fun, especially as several of the stops were child orientated, she loved seeing the cats and feeding the donkeys.
Response from the operator: Dear guests, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful and detailed review! It was a real pleasure spending the day with you, and I’m delighted that the relaxed pace allowed you to truly enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. I’m especially happy that the Botanical Garden became such a memorable part of your day – the warm hospitality there really does make it feel like a little slice of paradise! It’s also lovely to hear that your daughter had such a great time with the cats, feeding the donkeys and enjoying the family-friendly stops. Seeing children enjoy and discover Cyprus in their own way always makes the day even more special. Thank you for choosing to explore with us and for sharing your experience so beautifully. I hope the whole family takes home some wonderful memories of Cyprus, and perhaps we’ll have the pleasure of seeing you again one day! Warm regards, Reno 😊🇨🇾

Great day with something for all the family.
What a wonderful day. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the day. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable . It really felt like our own personal tour guide. I would recommend this tour.

It’s great to know you enjoyed the warm hospitality at each stop and that the tour made a lasting impression. Thank you for your recommendation—it truly means a lot, and I hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable day in Cyprus! 🍷😊 Sincerely, Reno G

Book this tour!!!
We booked this tour last minute and we are so glad we did! It was supposed to be a group tour but it was just the two of us, other companies would have cancelled but no, Reno was happy to give us the 5 star treatment. From the moment he picked us up from our hotel, he made us feel relaxed and at ease. Reno chatted away like we had always known him, filling us in on local history and interesting information. He made sure we got as much out of the tour, going that extra mile so that we saw and experienced so much more than on a standard tour. It was an absolute pleasure to spend the morning with him and see how much love he has for the island. The botanical gardens is an absolute MUST! You will meet the most interesting and enthusiastic man and be educated on the benefits of plants and herbs. Michalis's hospitality is outstanding, he opens his home and his garden for the public so he can share his extensive knowledge and his little slice of paradise. Do not miss out on this tour. 100% recommend. Thank you again Reno.
Response from the operator: Dear Catherine, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience and that the day turned out to be so special for you. Reno will be very happy to read your kind words. He truly loves sharing the history, stories, and beauty of Cyprus with our guests, and it means a lot to know that his passion helped make the tour memorable. We’re also glad you enjoyed the visit to the botanical garden and the warm hospitality there — it really is a unique and inspiring place. Thank you again for your recommendation. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another tour in the future! 🍷 Sincerely, Elena Gheorghian

A lovely day out!
This was supposed to be a group tour but we got very lucky as nobody else had booked for this day and Elena still did the tour for us. She is a lovely lady, willing to go the extra mile. The trip was very interesting, even though the weather was not very kind to us for the visit to the Adonis Botanical Garden. We still managed to have a lovely day, not too full on and a good introduction to what Cyprus has to offer away from the resorts and beach. Thanks Elena!
Response from the operator: Dear Alison, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you both. Even though the weather wasn’t on our side, I’m very happy to hear that you still enjoyed the tour and the visit to the Adonis Botanical Garden. I’m glad I could show you a different side of Cyprus — the nature, the culture, and the beauty beyond the resorts. Sometimes the quieter days make the experience even more special, and I’m happy I could share that with you. Thank you again for joining the tour, and I hope to welcome you back to Cyprus in the future! Kind regards to your husband! Sincerely, Elena Cyprus Winery Tours

Paphos Family Tour: Sea Caves, Shipwreck, Donkey Farm & Cat Park: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paphos.
How much does Paphos Family Tour: Sea Caves, Shipwreck, Donkey Farm & Cat Park cost?
+
Prices start at $86 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paphos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Paphos Family Tour: Sea Caves, Shipwreck, Donkey Farm & Cat Park take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Paphos is not rushed.
Is Paphos Family Tour: Sea Caves, Shipwreck, Donkey Farm & Cat Park worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paphos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Paphos Family Tour: Sea Caves, Shipwreck, Donkey Farm & Cat Park?
+
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 Paphos Family Tour: Sea Caves, Shipwreck, Donkey Farm & Cat Park suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Paphos Family Tour: Sea Caves, Shipwreck, Donkey Farm & Cat Park?
+
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 Paphos 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 Paphos and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Paphos Family Tour: Sea Caves, Shipwreck, Donkey Farm & Cat Park 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 Paphos 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 Paphos?
+
On Outty we rank every Paphos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Blue Lagoon Cruise with Sightseeing from Latchi Harbour, Troodos Mountains Villages: All Inclusive Food & Wine Day Tour, Wave Dancer Half Day BBQ Cruise - All Inclusive. 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 Paphos?
+
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 Paphos?
+
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.
