    Long winding road but worth it!

    It is a long mountainous ride. The roads are very winding with a lot of switchbacks. Omodos was a lovely village and we got there before any other busses got there so we had the run of the place. The Kykkos Monestary is amazing. Curious where the funding came from to build it all as there A LOT of ornate mess and lots of gold. Had to cost a fortune. The wine rating on the way back was very nice. Had lots of sample including the local blue wine

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review! We’re very glad you enjoyed exploring the mountainous part of Cyprus. The winding roads and many sharp turns can make the trip quite long, so we’re glad you handled the mountain route so well and that it was ultimately worth it. It’s wonderful to hear that you had time to visit the charming village of Omodos and that Kykkos Monastery made such a strong impression on you. We’re also glad you enjoyed the wine tasting on the way back and that you were able to try the local “blue” wine. Thank you again for choosing us. We hope your memories of Cyprus’s mountain landscapes, historic sites, and local flavors will stay with you for a long time!

    Adventurous excursion

    the weather is very bad on 20th when we took the tour, thunderstorms, strong wind, very cold, very foggy, low clouds, low visibility, there had been landslides with rocks on the road, worst there’s even hailstorms by afternoon. Our guide and driver Brad (hope I had spelt correctly) is the best driver, negotiating the zigzag narrow mountain drive in such bad weather conditions with ease, while at the same time talking and explaining. Kykkos is the main theme of the tour. We were given 40 minutes there, which I would suggest one hour is better. Unfortunately the Throni shrine was closed (maybe due to extreme weather). We arrived Omodos very early at 0830, everything is not opened (except few cafes), so we can only see the church. The Stavros restaurant, food & wine tasting is good. It’s really a memorable adventurous excursion. It’s a very special chance that we can experience such extreme conditions & circumstances. We were all safely back to Paphos at 4pm, thanks to Brad.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for such a vivid and detailed review — it was truly a pleasure to read! From your description, the weather that day really put the whole trip to the test, and we are genuinely glad that, even under such extreme conditions, the excursion still turned into a memorable and unique adventure for you. A special thank you for highlighting Brad — handling winding mountain roads in such weather while staying calm, focused, and still engaging with the group does require real skill, and we will be sure to pass on your kind words to him. Kykkos definitely deserves more time — an hour there feels very different from forty minutes, and we are already considering how to better adjust the timing so that guests can fully experience its atmosphere. As for Omodos, you caught it in its almost “behind-the-scenes” early morning state — a rare perspective, though not the most convenient for exploring. And thank you for mentioning Stavros — it’s great to hear that even in such a demanding day, there was still room to enjoy good food and wine. We truly try not just to run tours, but to adapt to circumstances and maintain a high standard even when nature has its own plans. Journeys like this test our flexibility, and your feedback means a lot to us. We would be delighted to welcome you again — hopefully next time in calmer weather so you can fully enjoy every stop along the route ☀️

    Troodos, Omodos & Kykkos Monastery Full-Day Tour from Paphos: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Troodos, Omodos & Kykkos Monastery Full-Day Tour from Paphos cost?

    +

    Prices start at $63 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 Troodos, Omodos & Kykkos Monastery Full-Day Tour from Paphos 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 Paphos is not rushed.

    Is Troodos, Omodos & Kykkos Monastery Full-Day Tour from Paphos worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 41 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 Troodos, Omodos & Kykkos Monastery Full-Day Tour from Paphos?

    +

    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 Troodos, Omodos & Kykkos Monastery Full-Day Tour from Paphos 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 Troodos, Omodos & Kykkos Monastery Full-Day Tour from Paphos?

    +

    Around 14 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Troodos, Omodos & Kykkos Monastery Full-Day Tour from Paphos 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.

    What is included in Troodos, Omodos & Kykkos Monastery Full-Day Tour from Paphos?
