A' route of experiential activities – General Description

The first route of experiential activities is a fun route with a multitude of activities, suitable for young people, which enables travelers to choose from a range of activities and combine them as they wish. This special route includes options for food/ brunch to a visit to waterfalls, wineries and/or processing plants producing traditional sweets.

This route is proposed to be done by road and can be performed without the help of a tour guide. In addition, due to the relatively close distance between the sites of this route, it is possible to complete it within the same day.

Due to the mild weather conditions that usually prevail in Cyprus, the route can be carried out all year round.

Initially, it is suggested to travelers to visit the village of Omodos, where they can have breakfast/ lunch and then visit one of the 7 wineries located in the area, experiencing a unique experience of tasting local wine through a guided tour and demonstration of the way of production that takes place. Then, it is suggested to travelers to head to the villages of Fini or Prastio, where they have the opportunity to explore the waterfalls, admiring the enchanting landscape created by the peculiar cavities and small gorges due to the location and the existing hills. At the same time, during their visit to the village of Fini, travelers can not miss the famous Phoenician Loukoumia and visit the Loukoumi workshop located in the village. Then, heading to the village of Limnatis,  travelers can admire and taste the many local, traditional products.
