Pickup details

We offer door-to-door transport from almost any Larnaca location including hotels, airbnbs, private accommodation, cruise terminal, landmarks etc. We can also offer pick-up or drop-off at Larnaca airport if this makes your participation more convenient. If you do not see your pickup location on the list at the time of ... booking - please go ahead with your booking and in the unlikely case that we cannot fulfil the pick-up - a full refund will be processed. This tour runs on specific dates - if the available dates aren't suitable and you would like to take part in a food / wine experience on another day then please check Cyprus Taste Tours for our other options as we have activities running on every day of the week. PLEASE NOTE: We offer bespoke journeys into the Troodos mountain range and therefore the itineraries stated are subject to change with the season and the locals available to host us. The timings are a guideline and if you must be back at your accommodation at a certain time - YOU MUST LET US KNOW IN ADVANCE. PLEASE NOTE: The Troodos mountain range spans Larnaca, Limassol, Paphos and Nicosia and it is in the mountainous areas of these districts that you find the rural villages of Cyprus. This tour DOES NOT visit Troodos Square and will only visit various villages within the Troodos mountain region. We keep our tours authentic by visiting true locals and because these local villagers are busy with every day life – we cannot guarantee which stops we’ll be visiting after the cheese-making workshop... However, here’s an example list of products - honey / traditional sweets / wine / donkey milk products / carob honey. Read more ▼

Itinerary

A fantastic way to explore with a local! A guide from our team will pick you up from a Larnaca location of your choice and you’ll be driven into the Troodos mountain countryside to the cheese-making workshop of a village local to learn the traditional technique of halloumi and anari cheese making. You’ll take part in the process from start to finish while spending time with true locals. This hands-on workshop ends with a traditional sit-down experience where you'll enjoy a delicious brunch which will include the cheeses made plus lots more. We’ll then continue our journey into the scenic mountain villages to visit 3 further foodie locations** (e.g. honey / traditional sweets / donkey milk products / chocolates / olive oil / wine / etc.). Part of our touring will be a visit to a traditional village* where you’ll have time to shop & explore. Any applicable entrance fees, tasting fees, door-to-door transport, traditional brunch, coffee & drinks are all included in the tour price.

Great fun day out!

Published on Jan, 2025

It was the best trip I had when I was in Cyprus! Wonderful arrangement, really thoughtful details, and the activities were unique and fun. I recommended to my friends.

Not to be missed

I had met Loula on another tour and took a real liking to her. When I heard that the Halloumi making experience was with her, I booked straightaway. I enjoyed being involved in the whole process. The meze Loula provided was delicious, especially her orange cake. The other activities were also very interesting and enjoyable. Unfortunately, our free time in Lefkara was spoilt by torrential rain. Our driver, Demi, provided everyone with umbrellas and drove us as close as possible to venues. Demi is very knowledgeable and respectful and funny.

great experience, 100% recommend !!

Published on Nov, 2024

it was amazing! I loved being involved in the halloumi making process and it was honestly to fun to see how it was being made (after being in love with eating it all this time). our host was so lovely and even though she couldn't speak much English she would do her best for us and she was so kind. we also got to visit a bunch of other places like the donkey farm, bee farm and some olive oil places. we also visited Lefkara village (which I really wanted to go to so what a plus!) overall I really loved it and had no regrets! would 100% recommend

Excellent mixture of highly entertaining tour

Published on Nov, 2024

Too notch tour, it’s up there at the top of my list. We booked the halloumi cheese making course and would have been happy at that. I did not expect to enjoy all the other parts and the day it seemed to fly by. We were picked up bang on time from our hotel by Mamos. Very cheerful, helpful and what a good fella. at the pick up point, we were met by the lovely Demi . Her knowledge was amazing. She seemed to know all the hosts as we went along. As a guide and driver 10/10. The halloumi making was excellent and well worth it, we also got a walk around the farm to meet all the animals, it was my favorite part of the tour. Our tour included introduction to bees by a very knowledgeable young lady who explained the life and duties of bees, specifically how the females run the show. No change there then. Notable , at no point were you prompted to buy any items at all. we had a great lunch and samples of allsorts of local food and drinks as we went along. Very enjoyable and good value all round. I would really recommend, there is something for everyone to enjoy on here. Highly recommended.

If You Only Book One Tour In Cyprus

Published on Nov, 2024

We booked this tour predominantly for the cheesemaking but as it turned out, it offered so much more. It supports small local businesses who really genuinely care for their animals and crafts. Guides and drivers are passionate and local, live and breathe in the areas we visited. This is so important to me. Small group of 6 and we rubbed together fine from the inclusive introductions by Mammas and Demi. Picked up at our hotel front promptly. The cheesemaking exceeded all expectations and was so interesting and fun. We were lucky enough to meet the ladies who provided our lovely Milk for the goats cheese and their kids, as well as the rest of the other farm animals. The Farm is labour of love for the passionate and lovely owners and you can tell. They live simply, it’s a lifestyle. I learned a lot and we ate beautifully. I said they should offer guests the option to pay extra for ‘goat walking’ around the farm. I recently arranged this for my adult daughter after a 6 month waiting list in UK. She loved it. The rest of the afternoon included a potter around a beautiful local village, lace making, honey bees and fabulous donkeys and their adorable foals. Our guide and fabulous chauffeur was the lovely Demi, personable, witty, knowledgeable, so dedicated and passionate about every where we went. She knew everyone we visited on a personal level, even the names of the cats who came to greet her. Extraordinary. We had the lovely Mamas the initial part of the journey he went out of his way to provide us with three menus, when we asked about where to eat the best Mezze. Excellent craic and over 40 years experience in customer service and you can tell. In summary one of the most enjoyable and satisfying trips I have ever been on. I am well travelled, all over the world. This knocked socks off any other tour.
