ARSOS VILLAGE

Step into one of Cyprus’s most architecturally preserved villages, where tradition stretches back to the era of Homer. Founded by Arcadian settlers under King Agapenor following the Trojan War, this compact hillside gem is steeped in legend. Arsos is said to derive its name from the sacred grove (Alsos) of the Goddess Aphrodite that once flourished in this picturesque setting.

Where gastronomy meets flavour!

...narrow cobblestone streets, the aroma of clay-oven bread, and the perfect, meticulous coffee.

Experience the 'live' side of Cyprus. Follow our accredited guides through cobblestone streets to a local workshop where culinary traditions thrive. Smelling the fresh clay-oven bread and tasting meticulously made coffee is just the beginning—you'll get hands-on with recipes passed down through generations. Join us to see how ancient traditions and warm hospitality define the Cypriot way of life.

Sample a sweet delicacy passed down since the Byzantine era- a treat so rare it was once reserved only for nobles.

NATURE PATH ' 6 FOUNTAINS'


This serene nature trail takes you through crystal-clear streams, under tree canopies, and across charming wooden bridges. Arsos is rich in water resources, nurturing a landscape of apple, walnut, apricot, and cherry trees. Along the 1250-meter trail, encounter six historic stone fountains, each providing refreshing spring water while you enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding nature.
This natural wealth caused a constant increase of the population, with more and more fountains built in the village over the years.
These old stone built fountains are the stops across the 1250-meter long trail where hikers, apart from the amazing landscape, can also enjoy the fresh water of the springs.

KTIMA GEROLEMO

Ktima Gerolemo winery is located about 1 kilometer north of the village of Omodos at an altitude of 900 meters, in the heart of the wine producing area. We will be guided to a family winery and get introduced to the principles of organic cultivation of the vine.

A Storybook Escape to Medieval Wine and Lace

Wander through the cobblestoned alleys of one of Cyprus’s most stunning stone-built villages, a place where medieval charm meets a living legacy of fine art and Chantilly lace. Stepping into this architectural gem feels like walking directly into the pages of a storybook.

In the heart of the village

Continuing our journey, we wander through ageless cobblestone alleys into the heart of a traditional wine village. Our destination is a beautifully restored medieval wine press, where you’ll be guided through the principles of indigenous and foreign grape varieties before enjoying a curated wine tasting session


OMODOS VILLAGE

Nestled on a sun-drenched mountain slope, Omodos is a jewel of the Cypriot countryside, where a verdant carpet of vineyards gives way to a masterfully framed mountain landscape. This picturesque village is a maze of narrow, cobblestone alleys and flower-filled courtyards, where traditional tiled roofs and ornate wooden gateways evoke a sense of timeless charm. At its heart lies a magnificent central plaza, surrounded by quaint stone houses and historic churches that perfectly capture the rustic soul of Cyprus. 

The Monastery of the Holy Cross

Rising majestically in the heart of the village square, the Monastery of the Holy and Life-giving Cross is the true pride of Omodos. As a cornerstone of Cyprus’s cultural heritage, this historic site pre-dates St. Helen’s arrival in 327 A.D., holding centuries of tradition, faith, and mystery within its ancient walls
