Learn how to make fresh and warm halloumi cheese! You'll drive through the Troodos mountain countryside and arrive at the cheese-making workshop of a village local. They'll teach you the traditional technique of halloumi and anari cheesemaking. You'll spend some time with the locals and taste the freshly made cheese.

You'll then enjoy a traditional brunch and continue your tour through the mountain villages. You'll visit three foodie stops and a traditional village with some time to explore it at your own pace.

Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Our guide was quite a character and very informative, knowledgeable and passionate about Cypriot cuisine. The transport was small and with 8 in the car made it quite cosy!! The halloumi making was very interesting and has inspired me to make my own….loved the wine tasting too. A good day out.

Wonderful day out that I would highly recommend. Our guide was very friendly and well informed on the local area. The halloumi making was very fun and all of the wine was excellent.

I had the privilege of going on this tour during my trip to Cyprus in June, 2024. Demi was my tour guide and she was LOVELY! The tour included tons of fun things to do that benefited local businesses and farms in the community. I experienced authentic beauty and cuisine of Cyprus on this tour!

Unsere Guide Demi war Ansprechpartner in allen Fragen und nahm sich viel Zeit für uns. Die internat. Zusammenstellung der Mitreisenden (GER, ISR, AUS) in einem bequemen Mini-Van war vorteilhaft; es wurde viel diskutiert. Interessante Halloumi-Herstellung; gefolgt von einer Bienenfarm, einer Olivenfarm und einer Donkey-Farm. Immer unterlegt mit den fundierten Hinweisen unserer Guide. Sehr zu empfehlen. Guter Service: ich wurde vom Hotel in Ayia Napa zum Treffpunkt gefahren (30 Min.)gefahren.

Brilliant from start to finish, especially with such a knowledgeable guide and because of the very small size of the group - you were not spoken to, you were part of the day ! But it's not just cheese making, there's also the monastery, winery, and sweet making place as well.
