Review of Paphos’s full-day Troodos jeep safari, with Kykkos Monastery, waterfalls, Omodos, wine tasting, and Aphrodite’s Rock.
“The tour itself was lovely. We drove on narrow mountain paths through the forest, which was stunning and probably not something you could do on a bus.

Review of a private Paphos day trip from Larnaca, covering ancient ruins, castles, mosaics, Aphrodite’s Rock, lunch, price, and tips.
“Great day visiting a number of significant sites. A personal favorite was thy castle at Kolossi, used by the Knights Templar. Lots of other interesting places as well and it was fun to see many folks taking pictures of the wrong rocks at the site of Aphrodite’s rock event though the others are a bit more spectacular. The Apollo sanctuary was quite nice as well. We found our car to be a bit small for sn sll day road trip but all in all a very nice outing.”
Cruise from Paphos to Latchi with Coral Bay views, two swims, buffet lunch, fresh fruit, and an open bar.
“The staff were very helpful & friendly - service very good. Snorkelling/swimming was great. Food excellent. Drinks very good. Journey was very choppy & though we didn’t get ill, quite a lot of others suffered with sea sickness. Seating (sun beds) is a little cramped but this meant we got to know our immediate neighbours & they were lovely! The coach journey back to Paphos Harbour was also a bit too long & also a little cramped.”
