From road trips to our spectacular mountains, and from the mountains to our beautiful monasteries and picturesque villages, you will definitely find an awesome adventure to add to your holiday experience! Check out our recommendations below…
Embark on a road trip to our magnificent mountains, and visit beautiful, picturesque, idyllic agrotourism villages. To help you out planning your next escapades in Larnaca we created the Cyprus Travel Itineraries and the Cyprus Routes/Road Trips just for you. Check them out for some inspiration! :-)
Please note that you will need a car for this activity…for more information on renting a car on the island visit Car Rentals in Cyprus and driving on the island.
Furthermore, consider staying in one, or a couple of our agrotourism villages in Larnaca. It’s going to be an excellent way to immerse yourself in our beautiful culture and traditions. Getting to know the friendly locals of the villages you are visiting. Fascinating stories, incredibly delicious food, and beautiful traditional architecture, everything at your feet just waiting for you to explore it!
Some of the agrotourism villages we love visiting are Pano Lefkara, Kalavasos, Tochni and Kato Drys. These villages are located in the Larnaca district, where you can enjoy tranquil holidays away from the buzz, and big city lights.
If you love wine, we do…!!, then consider including in your holiday adventure wine tasting. Cyprus is famous – among other things – for its local wines. Visit the local wineries up in the mountains where you will have a lovely time on a wonderful journey through the different wines of Cyprus.

The Larnaca district is not very far away from the famous and spectacular Troodos Mountains. The villages of Troodos are stunning, and the routes to get there are magnificent! So, a road trip to Troodos is a must if you love the mountains, nature, traditional cliff-side villages, and the raw beauty it holds in its heart!
If you decide to rent a car, whilst visiting the Troodos mountains, you can also make a stop-off at one of our stunning monasteries up there. (For instance, Kykkos monastery, Machairas monastery, Trooditissa monastery, Chrysorrogiatissa monastery, etc.) You don’t have to be religious to visit them, just make sure to wear appropriate clothing, since our monasteries are in-use and highly respected Holy places.
If you love religious sites, you will also find that we have on the island several UNESCO churches. Go on a road trip adventure where you will be exploring the island to “uncover” these “hidden gems” (UNESCO churches) will definitely light up your spirit.
If you decide on a road trip adventure, you will travel along routes that are magnificent, and breathtaking, visiting churches hundreds of years old. You will have a blast while exploring our magnificent Mediterranean Jewel…that’s for sure! :-)
If you don’t wish to rent a car to do these activities, but, you still want to have an adventurous time on your holiday, then consider booking a tour. It’s a splendid way to relax in the back whilst someone else does the driving, giving you the time to relax in comfort as you explore the island together…!!
