The omodos villages were stunning.the coach was comfortable. The only downside was the resteraunt. I informed viator i do not eat meat..the buffet only had cous cous and hummous for me for 13 euros. I was explaining this at the till and a German wonan begind me sternly said ' will you hurry u0 my food is getting cold. I remained calm. The manager arranged for me to have a veggie burger. However i felt in this day and age there should be more choice for veggies/vegans.Guide and driver were excellent. A wonderful geography and history lesson of a tour.

Guide and driver were excellent. A wonderful geography and history lesson of a tour. Great views from coach and monasteries of Troodos mountains and valleys. Stavros restaurant lunch stop at Pedoulas provided great range of options in addition to buffets. Loved picturesque village of Osmodos with its shops, cafes, chic restaurants and ice cream parlours. Excellent value. Highly recommended.
