During the long, warm season in Cyprus, we take advantage of the sunshine to spend time on the water and relaxing by the pool, to go walking in villages and exploring mountains. We design our tours to avoid the crowds and give you time to get lost in the moment.
With a maximum of only 10 guests, we’re a happy little company of explorers who relish each day socializing over delectable wine and food. At night, we come home to boutique accommodation that shows off the very best of Cyprus.
The experiences you have on tour with us create memories of a lifetime because you are not just sightseeing — you are understanding, learning, and making: making food, new friends, and memories. On our West Cyprus holidays, you come to know Cyprus through all of your senses.
Our thrilling West Cyprus holiday begins with a Paphos trip.
We meet this evening for a welcome drink and admire the panoramic view of Paphos from our rooftop bar before heading to the harbor for a wonderful local meze dinner with wine. Enjoy a restful night’s sleep in preparation for the upcoming week of adventure…

Back in Paphos, we meet our archaeologist guide for a private tour of the Nea Pafos Archaeological Site, a UNESCO World Heritage where the Roman mosaics will amaze you.
