A trip to Cyprus promises to be gastronomic experience, whether indulging in the island’s rich and colourful cuisine or its local vintages. With numerous villages across the island, there are many routes to try the local wine varieties and to explore the rural life of the island. Here’s our pick of the best.
Ayios Amvrosios
This small village in the Limassol district is known for its wines, particularly as it houses an ecological winery (Gaia Οιnotechniki) that creates high quality produce. The characteristic stone wall houses of Ayios Amvrosios on the hilly area offer a charming view of the vineyards that surround the region.
Omodos
One of the most popular villages of Cyprus is Omodos, due to its high production of traditional products such as zivania (an alcoholic drink) andsoutzouko (a sweet made from grape must). Cobbled streets make up the centre of the village, with lines of traditional shops and restaurants leading up to the Monastery of the Holy Cross; one of the oldest monasteries of Cyprus. As a popular agro-tourism destination, Omodos is well-kept and has a point of interest for all visitors be it wineries, museums or Cypriot lace.
