Transport
We had a good guide and a decent group. There was a lot of time in the Land Rover. Guide Rico put lots of effort in trying to ensure our comfort. Our group had some large and tall people in it; we struggled to fit. The chap next to me was manspreading, but when we changed over, I moved. Phew. There was no mention of the optional hike, which I had been looking forward to. Day was a good day without it, but not much ‘outdoors’ in mountains. Lunch was good, fresh and sufficiently plentiful.
Spend the day travelling through the forested Troodos Mountains and discover some of Cyprus' wildest landscapes on this 4x4 tour. See vineyards, waterfalls, mountain villages like Lefkara, pine forests and more.
We'll kick off the action at the impressive Dipotamos Dam for a photo stop. Then, it's onto the sleepy mountain village of Lefkara, renowned for its intricately-made lace and silverware. We'll go a bit off-piste into Mesa Potamos Forest where you can take part in an optional hike, too.
Once you've built up an appetite, a meze-style lunch will be served in a village taverna. Then, we'll head to a beautiful forest waterfall with ice-cold water cascading down 20m. There'll also be a stop for some wine-tasting, followed by a visit to Tochni village, where you can walk through narrow streets and try a Cypriot coffee in a local ‘kafenion'. A refreshing end to an action-packed day.
