Troodos Mountains from Paphos: Villages, Wine and Choosing Between a Guided Trip and a Jeep
Updated October 8, 2026 · 4 min read
The Troodos Mountains are a long day out: tours from Paphos last 8 to 9 hours. The offers differ less in destination than in format: a guided trip with villages and a winery, a jeep tour with off-road stretches, or a 4x4 with a local driver.
The guided day trip
The guided day trip to the Troodos Mountains and villages costs €55 per person and lasts 8 hours. According to the operator’s description you visit villages in the Troodos Mountains and taste wine at a boutique winery. Which vehicle is used and where you are picked up is not stated there; the booking page settles that. With 2,040 reviews and 4.7 stars it has by far the most reviews among the Troodos offers from Paphos.
Jeep and 4x4
The jeep tour with wine tasting costs €65 and lasts 9 hours; according to the description it includes historic villages, waterfalls, off-roading, a wine tasting and Aphrodite’s Rock. The 4x4 tour with free wine tasting costs €60.45 and lasts 8 hours; its description mentions only a local driver, and the route is on the booking page. If food is your focus, the food and wine tour with lunch costs €132 for 8.5 hours with a family winery; according to the description, pickup is available in Paphos among other places.
The honest recommendation
For most people the guided day trip at €55 is the simple choice when villages and wine are the point. Take the jeep tour if off-roading and waterfalls are the reason, and expect 9 hours. Anyone who dislikes long journeys will not enjoy any of these days. On a guided tour you are not driving yourself, but still plan no drive of your own after the wine tasting. It can be cooler in the mountains than on the coast, so a jacket does no harm.
