On this trip, we’ve prepared a true cocktail of impressions for you — a day filled with the most interesting and delicious experiences Cyprus has to offer. Our first stop is the artist village of Laneia, one of the most picturesque villages on the island. Its cobbled streets, blooming courtyards, and small free museums create a perfect atmosphere for a peaceful walk and great photo opportunities.
Next, we head to the famous Rose Factory in Agros village, where you’ll discover a variety of natural products made from fragrant Damask rose petals — from oils and beauty items to sweets and liqueurs. We’ll also visit the local Smokehouse and the traditional Jam House, where you can taste homemade smoked meats and unique jams made from fruits, vegetables, and even flowers.
After a short break, we’ll stop in Foini village, home to a small family-run loukoumi workshop called Ourania Delights. There you can taste Cypriot loukoumi made with love and tradition, following an authentic 1930s recipe.
To finish the day, we’ll visit a local winery where you’ll sample excellent Cypriot wines and strong spirits like Zivania and Commandaria — the perfect end to a flavorful and colorful journey through the heart of rural Cyprus

Embarking on a culinary journey in Paphos was a delightful experience that allowed me to savor the rich flavors of Cyprus. The day began with a comfortable ride through picturesque countryside, where the rolling vineyards set the tone for what was to come. I was treated to a variety of wines, each telling its own story, paired beautifully with local delicacies that showcased the island’s gastronomic heritage.
One highlight was visiting a family-owned winery, where the warmth of the hosts transformed the tasting into an intimate affair. However, I did find that the pace felt a bit rushed at times, making it challenging to fully absorb the experience. That said, the final stop at a charming taverna, indulging in traditional dishes while soaking in the ambiance, left a lasting impression. Overall, this tour was a wonderful way to immerse myself in the culinary culture while enjoying the stunning scenery that surrounds the location.
