What you can expect

We begin our day with a stop at the unique 5-domed church of St Paraskevi, built in the 9th century reputedly on the site where the ancient temple of Aphrodite previously stood. We will also have a chance to see how the ‘loukoumia’ (Turkish delights) are made .
From there we will go to Letymbou, where we will visit Sophia’s traditional house(rooms with the original furniture and décor and traditional costumes). You will see the baking of village bread in the clay oven or other local delicacies such as the traditional halloumi cheese. Afterwards we will have a brunch , prepared by Sophia (included in the price).
Next, we will visit Paphos Old Market at the heart of the Old Town “Agora.” Indoors you can browse several boutiques and stalls , while outside you will walk along alleys to see art shops where stuff is hand crafted and coffee shops
We continue with a stop at a pottery workshop in the old town, where we will see how the potters continue the ancient traditional craft.
