Pafos Wine Routes

Follow the path of the Gods

The tradition of wine-making is a long and rich one in Cyprus. Wine, the gift of god Dionysus to mankind, is associated not only with the nutritional habits of Cypriots, but also with religious and popular traditions connected with their cultural heritage.

The Wine Routes are a special form of agrotourism created to maintain and promote this heritage. There are selected routes for visitors to follow, which pass through the most picturesque areas and wineries. You are welcome to taste local wines paired with traditional appetizers and titbits, and to explore nearby traditional villages, archaeological sites, museums, etc.
