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.

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.
