Salonica View is organizing a beautiful day trip to Kyperounda, with a guided tour of the village, a leisurely stroll and a festive mood, to walk, learn, relax and enjoy the atmosphere of the season.
A few words about our excursion:
We depart in the morning from Nicosia and the Center of Cypriot Handicrafts to Kyperounda. Our first stop will be a visit to the Holy Basilica of Saint Arsenios Cappadocian for a pilgrimage. Then we will find ourselves in the center of the village, where locals will welcome us and our tour of the most beautiful places in Kyperounda will begin. From the center of the village we will all walk together to the Chapel of the Holy Cross for a pilgrimage and along the way we will go to the Church of Saint Marina. There there will be time to present to us the history of the village, its main points and what makes it special. Then there will be a visit to the Museum of Natural History and Traditional Life for a short tour and acquaintance with the history and old objects of the place. At the end, there will be free time to walk around the Christmas Village of Kyperounda, with houses, crafts, sweets, music and a festive atmosphere. We close the day with a leisurely coffee in the village and return to Nicosia.
