Paphos Half-Day Tour

Tour overview

The experience

Discover the traditions, flavours and local stories of Paphos on a relaxed half-day experience.

Begin at the peaceful Agios Neophytos Monastery and visit the Enkleistra, the remarkable cave sanctuary associated with Saint Neophytos and decorated with historic frescoes. Continue to the Byzantine Church of Agia Paraskevi in Geroskipou, where distinctive architecture and centuries of religious heritage reveal another side of Cyprus.
