Overview of your Nicosia tour

Pick up from Larnaca The tour will cover a region which is characterized by one of the largest groups of churches and monasteries of the former Byzantine Empire. The World Heritage List churches are all richly decorated with murals and provide an overview of Byzantine and post-Byzantine painting in Cyprus. They range from small churches whose rural architectural style is in stark contrast to their highly refined decoration, to monasteries such as that of St John Lampadistis. You are also given the opportunity to cross the beautiful villages of Moutoulas and Pedoulas and travel through the dense forest of Troodos mountains and the picturesque valleys of Marathasa and Solea. Churches to be visited are also St. Nicholas of the roof, Panayia tis Podithou, Archangelos, Archangelos of Pedoulas and Panagia tou Pedoula. Our last stop will be at the famous medieval village of Kakopetria with its stony houses and narrow streets. Drop off to Paphos
