The Aphrodite Experience: Winery Visit and Baths of Aphrodite Tour
Where myth, wine, and coastal heritage converge into one unforgettable Cypriot day.
The Aphrodite Experience Cyprus is a fully guided, eight-hour journey that leads travelers through centuries of island history, legendary mythology, and authentic Cypriot gastronomy in a single, unhurried day.
Departing from hotels in the Paphos area aboard a comfortable air-conditioned coach, the tour visits three distinct destinations that capture the cultural and natural essence of western Cyprus. A professional English-speaking guide accompanies the group throughout, providing context and narrative at every stop.
From the quiet harbor of St. George to the terraced cellars of an award-winning family winery, and onward to the fabled grotto of a goddess, this itinerary was designed for curious travelers who value depth over distance. Lunch at a seaside tavern, wine tastings, and door-to-door transfers are all included, leaving nothing to chance.

Visit the 12th-century Agios Georgios Church in Peyia, one of the most historically significant coastal sites in the Paphos region.
Taste Commandaria, Zivania, red, and rosé wines at the award-winning, family-run Sterna Winery amid sweeping vineyard panoramas.
Explore the legendary Baths of Aphrodite, a natural rock pool set within lush gardens where ancient myth and natural beauty intertwine.
Enjoy a traditional Cypriot meze lunch at a welcoming tavern, with a generous spread of authentic local dishes and one included drink.
Discover the colorful fishing harbor of St. George, where turquoise waters, historic streets, and local character make for exceptional photography.
