Cyprus by Land & Water

Step into the natural beauty of Cyprus, sample local wine and cheese, see the bathing area of a goddess and swim in a lagoon.

About Your Trip

Picture idyllic, untamed landscapes of majestic mountains, verdant forests, diverse wildlife and rugged coastlines with sea caves and beaches — it’s all in store for you on this DreamTrip to Limassol, Cyprus. But first, get a dose of history with a tour of the 12th-century Chrysorrogiatissa Monastery and its collection of religious treasures, including colorful frescos and a gold-and-silver icon of Virgin Mary. Quench your thirst with wine from the monks’ vineyard and snack on fresh bread and halloumi cheese.

Head northwest to Akamas Peninsula National Park for a stop at the Baths of Aphrodite. This shallow pool is set in a serene cavern said to be the place where the goddess Aphrodite bathed. You’ll have leisure time to explore the wide variety of flora or fauna, or to swim in the crystal blue waters at the beach (weather permitting). After lunch, transfer to the port of Latchi for your boat ride through the Blue Lagoon. Stop in this sheltered cove for more swimming or just relaxing. End your day with a photo opportunity at sea caves near Peyia, offering a backdrop of towering rock formations and crashing waves.

The following day is open for you to discover the best of Cyprus at your own pace before a rousing farewell dinner with fellow DreamTrippers. Relive the highlights of the visit as you dine and raise your glass to Cyprus.

What we love:
• The miracle icon of Virgin Mary at Chrysorrogiatissa Monastery is said to have been painted by Luke, one of the Four Evangelists and the patron saint of artists.
• Indulge in delicious, fresh halloumi, a typical Cypriot cheese made from goat and sheep milk and wrapped in mint leaves when stored.
• Blue Lagoon surprises visitors with an abundance of fish and clear water — so clear that they can see the sandy bottom from the surface!

Destination

Cyprus is best known for its pristine beaches and long, rich history. There’s a captivating atmosphere of traditional, harbor-town charm and contemporary elegance in Limassol, the country’s primary seaport. Historically, Limassol served as a vital trading port for merchants and militaries. The city was officially constructed under the Byzantine Empire on the Cypriot southern coast, strategically placed between the 2 ancient cities of Amathus and Kourion.

Architecture throughout Limassol and the surrounding region showcases its complicated past, from the imposing Kolossi Castle, built during the late Middle Ages, to the British colonial buildings from the late 1800s. Presently, the temperate, sunny Mediterranean climate makes it a popular destination for travelers from around the world.
