Today’s optional guided excursion, will take us to the Troodos region. The traditional village of Omodos is built on the side of a mountain amongst a green carpet of vineyards, surrounded by mountains and is one of the most graphical villages in Cyprus. We will make a stop at Kykkos Monastery, located in the Troodos Mountains. It is the wealthiest and most lavish of monasteries and stands on a mountain peak at an altitude of 1,318 metres. Its most notable asset is a silver-gilded icon of the Virgin Mary, one of the three surviving icons painted by the Apostle Luke, enshrined in an ornate tortoiseshell and mother-of-pearl case and never uncovered. Another stop in the Troodos region will be in the picturesque village of Platres. It has one of the highest waterfalls in Cyprus – Caledonia and the village itself is filled with charming old buildings. Dinner at the hotel (extra).
