7. We'll visit the traditional village of Omodos to explore and enjoy a full meze lunch with wine (all included in your Cyprus Taste Tours ticket!) This was the first village of Cyprus given funding as part of the agrotourism project to promote remote areas of the island. The funds were used to restore old buildings and encourage coffee shops, tavernas and accommodation, open museums and increase activities of traditional crafts and arts in the area. It is home to the famous monastery Timios Stavros and it’s said that St. Helen visited the site while in Cyprus and left a part of the “blood-stained” holy rope which the Romans used to bound Jesus Christ to the cross.
