Troodos Village Venture – Rural Villages Food
What your day looks like
On this day tour you’ll be picked up from a location of your choice and driven around a variety of carefully selected villages to visit traditional product workshops and taste a variety of Cypriot delicacies. You’ll learn about the sourcing of ingredients, the making process and the traditions linked to the products. Part of our touring will be a visit to traditional village (e.g. Lefkara / Omodos / Kakopetria / Kathikas / Pano Panayia*) where you’ll have time to explore the craft shops and see the sites. Along the way we’ll stop at a local village tavern to feast on a selection of Cypriot dishes with a full meze lunch. We keep our tours authentic by visiting true locals and because these local villagers are busy with every day life – we cannot guarantee which stops we’ll be including… However, here’s an example list of products which are likely to be included – Halloumi Cheese, Honey, Olive Oil, Village Breads, Traditional Sweets, Wine etc. We guarantee a great day out and you can be sure that you’ll visit 5 fantastic places within the Troodos mountain villages and experience a foodie day tour like no other! *The village you will visit for exploring will depend on your pickup location.
