Troodos Mountains wine tour: 3 wineries, lunch includedA full-day wine tour from Paphos into the Troodos mountains visits 3 award-winning family-owned wineries with tastings and winery tours, stops at the 12th-century Chrysoroyiatissa monastery, and includes a traditional meze lunch with wine at a village taverna. Groups stay under 7 people, a local bilingual guide leads the day, and all transport, tastings, entrance fees and lunch are included in one price — no hidden costs and no need to arrange a sober driver.Is it for me?This tour suits a traveler with a free afternoon or morning in Paphos who wants to taste wine made by the people who grow it, not just sample bottles in a tasting room. The small group size and the guide's local knowledge mean you learn the story behind each wine instead of rushing through a standard itinerary, and because everything is included upfront, you can relax and taste without tracking costs or worrying about transport.
Cyprus: Self-Drive Speedboat to Blue Lagoon & Sea CavesYou’ll drive your own speedboat from Latchi along Cyprus’s wild Akamas coast with a full safety briefing and map. Swim at Secret Beach, snorkel Manolis Bay’s blue shallows, and anchor in Blue Lagoon’s famous turquoise water before cruising past ancient amphora at Fontana Amorosa. It’s freedom, laughter, salt air — and you’re behind the wheel.
Self-Drive Speedboat Rental Paphos: Anchor at Blue LagoonYou drive your own speedboat along the Akamas coast, stopping at the Blue Lagoon, Secret Beach, St George's Island and other bays you choose yourself. The boat includes life jackets, a cool box and a full safety briefing before you leave Latchi. You need only a car licence and the willingness to navigate by map. Half or full-day hire available.Is it for me?Book this if you want to explore the Akamas coast and the Blue Lagoon without following a group schedule or paying for a skipper — the self-drive format is what lets you anchor in the bays that suit you and stay as long as you want.
Paphos: Lara Bay & Adonis Falls Quad & Buggy TourYou drive your own quad bike or buggy from Paphos to two mountain swimming spots: Adonis Falls with its freezing natural pool and Lara Bay near the turtle conservation area. Goggles and petrol are included, and you get photo stops between swims. The ride is the experience as much as the destinations, and the fixed schedule means you're back by evening without having to plan transport or timing yourself.Is it for me?Book this if you want to drive yourself through mountain terrain and reach two swimming spots that are hard to reach without your own transport — the quad and buggy format is what gets you there and keeps the groups small.
Paphos Luxury Dinner Cruise with Fireworks: Adults OnlyA luxury dinner cruise departing Paphos Harbour along the East coast to Atlantida Bay, with guaranteed individual tables, a three-course gourmet dinner freshly prepared on board, live vocalists and an exclusive musical show with acrobatics, and a fireworks display. Limited to 90 guests; adults only, minimum age 18. English-speaking crew; optional hotel transfers available.Is it for me?Most Paphos dinner cruises seat you at shared tables and move you between decks for different courses. This one keeps you at your own table for the entire four hours, with the show and fireworks coming to you — no moving, no strangers at your table, no interruption to the meal or the evening's flow.
Troodos Mountains: Halloumi Cheese Workshop & Foodie TourYou’ll join a small group for a day trip into the Troodos Mountains from Paphos—making halloumi cheese by hand with locals, sharing a Cypriot brunch, visiting a mountain monastery, and tasting sweets or honey along winding village roads.

Paphos: Sunset Cruise, Turtle Watching & Unlimited DrinksYou board a semi-submarine with 20 viewing windows and spend two hours watching the Vera K shipwreck and underwater forest from inside a dry cabin, then swim for 20 minutes at Atlantis Beach, then cruise back into the sunset with a 90% chance of seeing turtles—all while drinking from an unlimited bar. Masks and floaties are provided, and the whole experience keeps you comfortable whether you're a strong swimmer or not.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see Paphos's underwater life and turtles without needing to be a confident swimmer or diver—the cabin keeps you dry and the swim stop is optional and short, so the whole experience works whether you're comfortable in water or just want to watch from inside.
Cyprus: Turtle Snorkeling Tour & Sea Scooters with PhotosYou’ll float through Cyprus’ clear waters alongside wild turtles (some even have names), guided by locals who know every hiding spot.

Paphos Airport Transfer: Shared Shuttle from HotelsYou get picked up from your hotel in one of five Paphos-area locations, share the minibus with other passengers heading to the same airport, and arrive with two hours before your flight. The driver handles the route and timing; you just show up at reception with your bags. No negotiating fares, no arranging separate transport — the fixed price is what you pay.Is it for me?A good fit if you're leaving Cyprus without a rental car and don't want to negotiate taxi fares or arrange private transport — the shared shuttle removes the logistics and splits the cost with other passengers on the same flight window.
Paphos: Electric Scooter Rental No Experience NeededYou rent an electric scooter in Paphos, get a safety demo and time to adjust the fit, then explore the town on your own route without worrying about parking or fuel. Hotel delivery is available for groups, and all fees are included in the rental price. You'll need to be at least 17 and reasonably fit to ride, and the scooter's range covers a full day of sightseeing.Is it for me?Right for travelers who want to cover ground in Paphos without arranging transport or parking—the scooter's range and your own pace mean you see more than walking allows and stop wherever you want. You'll be out for several hours balancing and steering, so moderate fitness and comfort on two wheels matter.
Blue Lagoon Cyprus Boat Trip: Waterslide & snorkeling from LatchiYou sail 45 minutes from Latchi harbour to the Blue Lagoon, anchor for just over an hour with free snorkeling gear and a waterslide on deck, sip wine or lemonade, and return the same way. The whole trip is built around that one long stop where you choose what to do — swim, slide, or watch — without being moved along.Is it for me?Book this if you want a half-day on the water without arranging transport from Paphos or figuring out where to snorkel — the boat handles the sail, the stop, and the gear, leaving you free to slide, swim, or float depending on the hour.

Snorkeling in Paphos: Glass Bottom Boat & Vera K. ShipwreckA 2.5-hour glass bottom boat tour from Paphos harbour combines underwater viewing through a 20-square-meter glass deck with snorkeling stops at the Vera K. shipwreck and local reefs. You descend to the glass level to watch marine life and sponges in their natural state, then suit up to swim among colorful fish and, in breeding season, sea turtles. The boat includes a Super Jumbo water slide, fresh sandwiches and fruit during the swim stop, snorkeling gear and life jackets for children, showers and changing rooms onboard, and live English-language commentary from the crew.Is it for me?At 2.5 hours, this trip leaves room for a morning or afternoon in Paphos without consuming your whole day—the glass bottom viewing means you see the shipwreck and reefs whether you snorkel or stay dry, so it suits swimmers and non-swimmers equally, and families with young children who can't or won't enter the water.
Paphos: Blue Lagoon Boat Trip with BBQ & SwimmingYou board at Latchi harbour in the morning, sail past coastal landmarks for 45 minutes, then anchor at the Blue Lagoon to swim and snorkel while the crew grills lunch on deck. The boat includes BBQ food, drinks, and a return by mid-afternoon, so you're not stuck out all day.Is it for me?A good fit if you want a full morning on the water with food and swimming built in, and you don't want to arrange transport or bring your own lunch. The boat runs daily, so timing is fixed — that's what keeps the day simple.
Paphos: Sunset BBQ Cruise with Swimming & Live MusicYou’ll set sail from Paphos Harbour for an easygoing sunset cruise with live music and a barbecue meal out at sea.

Troodos Mountains: Monasteries, Omodos Village & Food Day TripYou’ll walk monastery halls scented with incense, taste Cypriot village bread still warm from the oven, sip strong local wine in Pedoulas, and wander Omodos’ cobbled lanes.
