Discover by far the richest jewel in the crown of Cyprus and head towards the majestic Troodos Mountains - the green heart of our Island. Pass through perfectly preserved picturesque villages that have remained untouched for over one hundred years and where Cypriot hospitality is always at its best.  The highlight is undoubtedly is the Kykkos Monastery, rich, daunting and priceless.  Marvel at the silver and bronze icons, frescoes and hanging gold chandeliers.  The late Archbishop Makarios first president of the Republic of Cyprus who died in 1977 chose to be buried at the nearby Monastery at Throni.  He chose this spot for its beauty and tranquility and where the views last forever.  On our way back we will allow a short stop at Troodos Square with an optional visit at the environmental centre.

Rules of the monasteries and churches require that male and female visitors are respectfully dressed.  Please, no shorts, low cut blouses etc.
