Troodos mountains
The mountains were beautiful. The monastery and the church were lovely. Lunch was delicious. We all thought that the last stop was pointless and we think it should be missed . Another drink and absolutely nothing to see.
Response from the operator: Dear Tracey, Thank you for your feedback and the time you dedicated to write it. Your comments really matter to our local team to improve the quality's standard service by applying the appropriate corrective actions. Kind regards, Customer Service Team

ok but really dragged out day
I did the Kykkos Monastery day tour from Paphos booked thru viator. This is advertised 'from Paphos' but we were picking people up for 90 mins from as far away as outer Limassol. We then stopped at a village coffee shop for 40 minutes after collecting all passengers. The tour the monastery itself was amazing and a must see destination in the island. There is a shrine at the top of the mountain then we came back to the actual monastery. First we had a tour of the church then over an hour freetime so plenty of time to explore. There are few food options, just a sandwich stand and ice cream truck outside as there is no lunch option on this tour. After leaving the monastery we drove for over an hour winding around the mountains. We then stopped in a village where they had made hand made jams which we could taste or purchase. Then more driving for more than an hour before we got to the highway. Then another hour dropping off passengers starting from Limassol to Paphos. Its an ok tour if you dont mind big bus tours and are not pressed for time but it can easily be done in just a half day if you want just to the monastery and back. Dont expect to be home before 7pm.

The monastery is great and...
<p>The monastery is great and definately one of the must see places in Cyprus. However, this is advertised as a trip from Paphos yet we were picking up people for 75 mins as far away as Limassol outskirts. We then made a coffee stop for 40 mins. The monastery was the highlight and there was plenty of freetime to go exploring. Bring some snacks as not much food options. We then drove for another 75 mins around the mountains just to get to a village to sample some jams. Then another hour doing all the dropoffs from Limassol back to Paphos. This is a good trip but expect it to last the full day due to group size. It can easily be done in half day if you just goto the monastery and back but I wasnt at my hotel till after six.</p>

Treasures of Troodos Mountain from Paphos Town: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paphos.
How much does Treasures of Troodos Mountain from Paphos Town cost?
+
Prices start at $72 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 Treasures of Troodos Mountain from Paphos Town take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Treasures of Troodos Mountain from Paphos Town worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 3 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 Treasures of Troodos Mountain from Paphos Town?
+
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 Treasures of Troodos Mountain from Paphos Town suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Treasures of Troodos Mountain from Paphos Town?
+
Around 1 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Treasures of Troodos Mountain from Paphos Town 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.
