Additional Information
UNESCO churches represent a veritable wealth of Byzantine legacy, with structures that have managed to retain their original form over hundreds of years. The Troodos region stands out for hosting one of the most significant clusters of religious buildings and monasteries from the erstwhile Byzantine Empire. These vary from modest churches, marked by a simple rural architectural design contrasted by elaborate ornamentation, to sophisticated monasteries.

Unesco monasteries Cyprus - a paradise - Coming to Cyprus and not seeing the UNESCO monasteries of the Trodos Mountains is like going to Rome and not seeing the Colosseum! If you are passionate about art, obviously. Only Taxi Cyprus organizes a tour of the monasteries: the price is a little high but it's all worth it. You visit 6 out of 10 Unesco monasteries in 1 day. Doing it alone is impossible: some are uncomfortable, others require a phone call to open them
The guide Maria was amazing! Professional, punctual, precise even on very difficult roads. In 8 hours we arrived and saw everyone. With super typical lunch! It's worth it, trust me. And only they organize it.

Excellent tour - Maria is a great driver and guide. She shared lots of useful information about the whole country. And she called ahead to make sure each church was open for us . Overall a wonderful day.

Fabulous tour - This was an excellent tour, run by a family business, with great service. Our driver/guide has a wealth of knowledge on Cyprus’ history, and was very interesting to talk to. We visited UNESCO churches that the coach tours don’t visit - they were all amazing. This was the best trip of our holiday. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone.

excellent services - I am very happy to recommend iTaxi Cyprus. I booked by email a transfer and a Day trip to Northern Cyprus. We were a group of 10 friends, the driver met us with a sign at the airport. The driver for the trip was also punctual, kind, helpfull and told us a lot about the country. We were all very satisfied with the service and we booked another trip. Everything went great even though we booked at the last minute. I highly recommend iTaxi - fair, flexible, frendly.
