1.Blue Lagoon and Aphrodite’s Baths Guided Day Tour from Paphos

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 389 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $54Our pick

Review of the Paphos Blue Lagoon and Aphrodite’s Baths tour, with boat facilities, timing, stops, costs, transport tips, and honest drawbacks.

“I highly recommend this half-day excursion for those who don't like long journeys. In the morning I was picked up by a clean air-conditioned bus not far from my accommodation and taken to the port of Latchi. Along the way we could admire the landscapes of spring Cyprus. The boat was clean, well-maintained and all the decks were covered with a safe non-slip surface. Before arriving at the Blue Lagoon, we enjoyed a wonderful cruise along the Akamas coast. In the Blue Lagoon we had an hour to swim, relax or ride the water slide in the sea on the boat. It was very nice when the captain treated us…”

2.Green Line and Buffer Zone Guided Walk

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 147 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $83Top rated

Walk Nicosia’s Green Line with local guide Eleni Ellinas, seeing Venetian walls, buffer-zone streets, divided communities, and Ledra Street.

“Anyone interested in the history of the division between Northern Cyprus and the Republic of Cyprus needs to go on this tour. Eleni, our guide, was part of this story since the 70s and shared her first-hand experience, which made the tour very powerfully vivid. And the great recommendations for places to visit after the tour on both sides of the buffer zone were the cherry on top.”

4.Full Day Troodos Guided Safari Tour with Pick Up

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 68 reviews · 8 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $66

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. However, it did feel rushed and our driver was very rude. He was visibly annoyed if you were not back by the minute of the time he stated. It really culminated at our last stop. I left a pair of sunglasses down at the beach and asked him to give me 2 minutes to run back and try to find them. He flat out told me he was going to leave without me. I begged him to please wait and ran down (the…”

Paddle Ayia Napa’s sea caves with a private guide, hotel transfers, dry bags, clear-water views, and flexible weather plans.

“The weather did not permit us to kayak, but per our preferences, Phivos took us on extensive and enjoyable scenic walks exploring various coastal areas. While walking we asked him about the history of Cypress and he gave us a description of all the successive empires and rulers of Cypress from 2000 BC until now in a thumbnail sketch. Exceptional experience!”
