Kakopetria and/or Agios Nicolaos tis Stegis UNESCO church - (optional short Troodos walk)

Private tour in Nicosia

Tour Price : €200 Duration : 6 hours Languages: Greek, English, Spanish, German

This trip combines beautiful Cyprus nature (high mountains and forest) with excellent cultural heritage in the form of a Unesco World Heritage Troodos painted church and a well-preserved old part of a mountain village.

The trip starts and finishes in Nicosia (unless other arrangements are made, possibly at a different price), has three suggested parts and can be customised as per travelers' preference :

1) Visit to Unesco World Heritage Agios Nicolaos tis Stegis Painted Church (dating from the 11nth century).

2) Exploration of the picturesque old part of Kakopetria village, found between two streams.  Besides meandering around the narrow streets, there are other attractions such as old olive and grape presses, an old church and watermill and a short walk next to the shaded stream.  

3) An optional walk on the flat 8-km long Artemis walking Trail at the top of geologically unique Troodos. Walkers enjoy a very particular ecosystem and incredible views of a large area of Cyprus.

Cyprus coffee at a balcony overlooking the shaded stream in Kakopetria is highly recommended, as is a fresh trout meal at a nearby restaurant.

Please remember that Phivos is the author of the book 'Exploring Authentic Cyprus' and offers services around the whole island, including walking trips.  We can customise your trip in a way that best matches your preferences.
