About this activity
An 8-hour gourmet immersion through Paphos's mountain villages, blending artisanal food production, wine tasting, and cultural encounters. This coach tour takes you beyond resort areas to discover how Cypriots have preserved centuries-old recipes and traditions—from rose-oil distilleries to handmade loukoumi workshops.
Prepare your senses for the most delicious and surprising day in Cyprus — a handcrafted gourmet villages tour from Paphos taking you deep into the island's most authentic flavors and hidden treasures.
Your first stop is the enchanting artist village of Lania — one of the most picturesque villages in Cyprus, where cobblestone streets, blooming courtyards, and charming free museums create the perfect atmosphere for a leisurely stroll.
Next, discover the fragrant world of the Rose Factory in Agros — where the legendary Damask rose is transformed into exquisite oils, perfumes, sweets, and liqueurs. Continue to the traditional Smokehouse and charming Jam House — where homemade smoked meats and extraordinary jams crafted from fruits, vegetables, and flowers tell the most delicious story of Cypriot village life.
In the sleepy village of Foini, Ourania Delights has been quietly perfecting the same loukoumi recipe since the 1930s. Watch the authentic Cypriot loukoumi being handcrafted before your eyes — and taste something so good it makes you close your eyes and smile.
The day ends at a local Cypriot winery — savor red, white, and rosé wines, the legendary Commandaria, fiery Zivania, Sharbel, and fine fruit liqueurs. The most delicious finale to an unforgettable journey through rural Cyprus.
