Explore Cyprus Forest on a fun 4x4 Jeep Safari from Paphos. Taste traditional coffee in Salamiou, see the Tzelefos Bridge, enjoy picnic under the pine trees and visit local winery with wine test.
Begin your day with a convenient pickup and set off on a adventurous 4x4 Jeep Safari through the stunning landscapes of Cyprus Forest. Your knowledgeable local driver will guide you to some of the island's most magical spots in nature, ensuring a day full of good vibes and unforgettable experiences.
Stop at the Asprokremnos Dam, the second-largest dam in Cyprus, located 16 km east of Paphos near Nikokleia. Built over the Xeros River, this 53-meter-high earthen dam provides essential irrigation for the Paphos region. It is a popular spot for scenic views, birdwatching, and licensed fishing.
Next, head to Salamiou, a traditional, picturesque village in the Paphos District between the Diarizos and Xeros Potamos valleys, it is known for its authentic rural atmosphere, stone-built architecture, and rich agricultural heritage, particularly in viticulture and almond production. Enjoy a traditional coffee tasting here.
Continue to Tzelefos Bridge, the largest and most famous medieval stone-built bridge in Cyprus at an altitude of approximately 440 meters, this single-arch Venetian structure spans the Diarizos River and dates back to the Venetian rule (1489–1571).
Next, enjoy a picnic in the forest with traditional snacks. Cyprus features approximately 40 official picnic sites maintained by the Department of Forests, most of which are nestled in the scenic Troodos and Paphos mountain forests. These sites are generally free to use and equipped with essential facilities like wooden tables, drinking water, and sanitary facilities.
Continue to Chantara (Hantara) Waterfalls, a multi-level natural cascade located near the picturesque village of Foini in the Troodos Mountains. Reaching a height of approximately 8 meters (26 feet), the waterfall is known for its unique rock formation where the stream often splits into two separate cascades.
Next, visit Foini village in the Troodos mountains, a premier center for authentic Cypriot loukoumia (delights), crafted since the 19th century. Renowned for traditional, handmade sweets without artificial additives, it offers flavors like rose, mastic, and bergamot.
Visit LionSpirit Winery & Distillery (formerly known as Lambouri Winery), a historic boutique producer located in the Troodos Mountains. With a heritage dating back over 350 years, it is recognized for blending traditional Cypriot winemaking with modern distillation innovations. Enjoy a wine tasting here.
Next, head to Omodos, one of the most picturesque and traditional "wine villages" in Cyprus, known for its cobblestone streets, stone-built houses, and rich winemaking heritage. Enjoy an optional lunch here at your own cost.
Finally, visit Aphrodite's Rock, also known as Petra tou Romiou ("Rock of the Greek"), an iconic sea stack located on the southwest coast of Cyprus between Paphos and Limassol. It is celebrated as the mythical birthplace of Aphrodite, the Ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty, who is said to have emerged here from the sea foam.
