What the Troodos Village Venture experience involves…
On this day trip you’ll be picked up from a location of your choice* and taken around a variety of carefully selected villages to visit traditional product workshops and taste a variety of Cypriot delicacies. You’ll learn about the sourcing of ingredients, the making process and the traditions linked to the products. Part of our touring will be a visit to traditional village (e.g. Lefkara / Omodos / Kathikas / Pano Panayia*) where you’ll have time to explore the craft shops and see the sites. Along the way we’ll stop at a local village tavern to feast on a selection of Cypriot dishes with a full meze lunch.
We keep our experiences authentic by visiting true locals and because these local villagers are busy with every day life – we cannot guarantee which stops we’ll be including… However, here’s an example list of products which are likely to be included – Halloumi Cheese, Honey, Olive Oil, Village Breads, Traditional Sweets, Wine etc. We guarantee a great day out and you can be sure that you’ll visit 5 fantastic places within the Troodos mountain villages and experience a foodie day trip like no other!
* The village you will visit for exploring will depend on your pickup location. If you have a special request then please contact us to find our if we can accommodate you.
Any applicable entrance fees, tasting fees, free door-to-door transport, full meze lunch & drinks are all included.
