A great experience - This was a great day out for me and my husband (who's only been to Paphos twice now) to experience this authentic and traditional side of Paphos. Ladies, ensure that you are prepared by wearing longer shorts and a T-shirt/shawl to cover bare shoulders. As the churches you go into require a bit more modesty for dress code. We definitely enjoyed trying new and unique flavours of Aphrodite Delights, and having fresh, home made Bread and Halloumi! Will definitely go back to visit these local places again next time we come back!

A great trip - A lovely intro to the true cultures and gems that make Cyprus so special. Visiting Sophia’s and Andreas home and sampling such wonderful hospitality will always be the highlight for me, really brings it home how you can exist without all the trappings of modern life and be happy and healthy. A wonderful couple i am totally in awe of

Authentic Indian Food in Cyprus - The choice of food was amazing. They serve truly Indian dishes rather than Pakistan or Bangladeshi dishes. The waiter is very helpful in recommending food I like. Their mango lassi was amazing. I also had the onion Bhaji for the first time and I fell in love with it. My friend had the seafood special which was so good we went back a second time just for it.

Historical trip Paphos Cyprus - Booked a trip to visit some sites in Paphos. The guide Sofia was excellent, very knowledgeable and helpful. George was the coach driver. Visit to one of the oldest potteries, 5 domed church with amazing frescos, all explained by Sofia. Then a visit to another Sofia's house where we tasted homemade bread, halloumi made on site. Salad and amazing coffee. The trip ended with own time in old Paphos. A great trip.
