2.Jeep Safari to Akamas National Park: Avakas Gorge Tour from Paphos

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 249 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $84

Spend about eight hours exploring western Cyprus by small-group jeep, with hotel pickup, off-road tracks, an Avakas Gorge hike, Lara Bay, Latchi lunch time, Aphrodite’s Baths, and the Edro III shipwreck. Guides such as Mario, Bambos, and Philipos add local color, but expect bumpy roads and possible changes for weather or closures.

“The jeep ride is over rough terrain and this off-roading allows you to see and hike in the beautiful Akama national park, see vineyards, carob and olive plantations, and even a tiny 12th century church which not many tourists get to see. This would have been impossible with a regular rented car. We also got to swim in the mediterranean for a full hour after seeing Aphrodite's baths and then had a delicious fish lunch in Latsi. The day concluded by seeing the Edro III Shipwreck and sea caves. Worth every cent, and our tour guide was very friendly and engaging.”

9.Jeep safari in Troodos, Afrotide’s rock, Cyprus

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 27 reviews · 7 hours · from $87

Spend seven hours traveling from Paphos into the Troodos Mountains in a small-group jeep with an English-speaking guide. Stop at Asprokremmos Dam, Nelion Winery, Tzelefos Bridge, Foini, Chantara Waterfall, Trooditissa Monastery, Omodos, and Aphrodite’s Rock. Michael and Dimitris are among the guides named in guest feedback. Lunch costs extra.

“We got to see a great range of places in Paphos Forest and the Troodos mountains, in a low key and unhurried way. The Venetian bridge and waterfall were both very pretty and peaceful. The monastery was so quiet and its church was stunning. Omodos is clearly a lovely village, but sadly the weather was very much against us there so we couldn’t explore due to torrential rain. But the lunch there was excellent. Visiting two local producers and sampling their very good produce was very nice and there wasn’t a big sales pitch at either. Aphrodite’s Rock was a picturesque place to end the day. Dimitris is so enthusiastic…”

11.The Super Team : Akamas & Avakas Jeep Safari from Paphos

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 16 reviews · 8h 30m · from $68Best value

Spend 8.5 hours exploring western Cyprus in a small Land Rover group of up to eight. Guide Mario takes you from Paphos to Avakas Gorge, Lara Bay, Aphrodite’s Baths, Blue Lagoon, sea caves, and the Edro III shipwreck, with lunch in Latchi and seasonal wine tasting.

“Wat een leuke dag hadden we met (Super) Mario! Hij is echt een leuke, gezellige en relaxte gids, die van alles vertelt over de omgeving en de plaatsen die we bezochten. Omdat het november was en mogelijk geen zwemweer, gaf hij ons verschillende opties en overlegde hij met ons wat wij als groep wilden. Zeer flexibel. Ook vonden wij het erg fijn om met slechts 1 Landrover met 8 gasten op pad te gaan in plaats van meerdere wagens en een grote groep. Mario is een superhost wat ons betreft! Groeten van Twan & Evelien”
