Omodos Village / Kelephos Bridge - Optional Easy Walk (Private Tour from Protaras)

<p>Omodos village and Kelephos medieval Venetian bridge are the two basic attractions of this trip. </p>

<p>Picturesque stone-built Omodos village and Kelephos medieval Venetian bridge are complementing excellent showcases on Troodos mountains of the nature and cultural heritage on the island. </p>

<p>The rather busy Omodos village is found in a prime wine producing area of Cyprus. The village offers an excellent example of Cyprus rural architecture and a collection of attractions (eg traditional man powered grape press). At its center one finds the historic monastery of the Holly Cross (dating back to the second century AD. According to tradition it was visited by St Helen in the third century AD; she left a piece of the rope used in Christ&#39;s Crucifixion there - sadly the monastery doesnot operate any more).</p>

<p>Kelephos medieval Venetian bridge blends Cyprus cultural heritage with its nature. It lies inside the expansive Paphos Forest, home to a few thousands of wild sheep (mouflon). According to tradition the bridge is found on a path that was used by camel caravans to transport mined material to Paphos port for export. </p>

<p>Depending on time availability we may do a walk at the bridge and the nearby valley of Platy, stop for a meal at a village restaurant, go for a winetasting session or visit other attractions on the itinerary. The trip is customisable.</p>

<p>If travellers are interested and we have time we may do a walk at Kelephos Medieval Venetian Bridge and the nearby Platy Valley.  </p>
