in Cyprus: A Tapestry of History, Myth & Mediterranean Life (Monday Arrivals)

Start & end in Paphos 8 days Up to 50

About this trip

This 8-day trip explores Cyprus from a single base in Paphos, mixing guided excursions with free days to relax or explore on your own. It's built around the island's layered history — ancient ruins, medieval towns, and villages that still hold onto old crafts and traditions.

You'll visit places like Lefkara, known for its lace-making, the walled town of Famagusta, and the ruins at Kourion, along with the vineyards and castles inland from Limassol. Four days are guided excursions, the rest are yours to fill with local food, a swim, or simply slowing down.

It suits people who want to dig into history and culture without constantly packing and unpacking — you return to the same Paphos hotel every night.

What you'll do

  • Explore the lace-making village of Lefkara
  • Walk the medieval streets of Famagusta
  • See the ancient ruins at Kourion
  • Visit vineyards and crusader castles in Limassol's hinterland
  • Base yourself in the UNESCO-listed town of Paphos
Good to know
  • You stay in the same Paphos hotel throughout, with day trips out and back
  • 4 guided excursions and 2 free days, so the pace is relaxed rather than packed
  • Well suited to families and travellers who prefer a steady base over changing hotels
