It's the perfect spot to enjoy a romantic evening drink at Aphrodite's Rock, birthplace of the goddess of love
You'll savour typical Cypriot meze in an atmospheric family-run taverna in Kouklia village
There's time to let your hair down and dance away to the sound of traditional Cypriot folk music
You'll mingle with the locals and learn about their age-old traditions and culture
An expert local guide shares unrivalled knowledge of Cyprus and its ancient legends
Cosa aspettarsi
Tasty meze, music and dancing – this trip has all the ingredients for a right old Cypriot night. And if that wasn't enough, it all comes after a drink overlooking Aphrodite's Rock – birthplace of the mythical goddess of love. Alexia, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘At the taverna, you'll get together with the locals and feel their culture and dance. Nothing is better than the 100% authentic cuisine cooked by the women of the village, just like they cook at home.' Join us for a knees-up to remember in one of the area's most popular tavernas.We'll kick off with a short drive towards Petra tou Romiou – as Aphrodite's Rock is known locally. Clink glasses at this mythical sea stack and enjoy the evening light while sipping on a sparkling wine. ‘A celebration in honour of the goddess,' as Alexia says. You'll then head to the village of Kouklia, a short drive inland from the coast, for a Cypriot dinner with a difference.A first sight, it's a typical family-run taverna. You'll get to savour just about every Cypriot dish you could possibly wish for. The emphasis is on pure ingredients and traditional meze – cooked the way they've been for generations – washed down with local wines. But on summer evenings, the family takes over the street, hosting feasts of folkloric music and dancing. Let your hair down and join the locals with some boogying and shaking on the outdoor terrace. As nights out go, it's a showstopper.

Everything was amazing about this trip apart from it said wine included which it was, however not enough I was lucky I got two glasses of white wine husband got one glass of red. I went into the tavern to ask if I could buy some which I did, however felt a little more should of been put out to accommodate all guests

Trip was good but yet again, there were small children on the trip when it was advertised as 12+ Not adverse to children (both teachers) but did not feel comfortable seated at a table with young children and drink/relax Also some of the other people on the trip were rowdy due to drink - again inappropriate around small children. Had we known that small children would be present we would not have booked That said, the trip itself is good

The guide was clearly someone that loved her job and was enthusiastic to share snippets of Cypriot culture as well as the tour itself. The meal and dancing was very enjoyable and felt very authentic. Very minor point; it would have been useful to at the Aphrodites beach to be told which rocks were the attraction. It was obvious after goggling the question. A strongly recommended tour.

Guide Lisa very good. Food good. Wine awful !! Entertainment good. Disabled son. Couldn’t do steps at rock. We’re told a few there were lots and lots Also second stop for wine and photos very bumpy. No good for wheelchair and very difficult for him to walk Coach dropped short walk to village for food and entertainment but then was a lot further away for pick up. Very long walk for son Overall good evening. But not very disabled friendly

Am Felsen war viel zu wenig Zeit. Dann zum nächsten Stopp, wo wir einen Wein mehr oder weniger auf Ex getrunken haben, weil: zu wenig Zeit. Wir haben einen entspannten Ausflug erwartet, bei dem wir in ein kleines einheimisches Dorf gehen, uns vielleicht austauschen können und vielleicht noch etwas Tradition mitbekommen. Stattdessen wurden wir mit unserer Reisegruppe in die erste Reihe gesetzt und "aufgefordert" an dem Tanz teilzunehmen, der offensichtlich nur für die Touristen aufgeführt wurde.

We thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Guide was excellent food was good and entertainment was excellent 10/10. The only criticism is we wished we could have stayed say 30 mins longer so we had time to look round village and talk to the locals. It all seemed a bit rushed which was a shame!! Perhaps it was because the pick up was delayed by 25 mins!

This was a brilliant trip with the guide Liza. Liza is very enthusiastic! She sang to us in Cypriot Greek, which all loved and the whole bus applauded!! I would definitely encourage Liza to sing more! The food and drink at the village were very good, and the dancers performance was memorable. It was magic to see the traditions of Cypriot villages, passes through generations! One improvement I would suggest is to give more time on Aphrodite's beach, as there was no time to buy souvenirs.

Sold as unlimited wine after 1 glass was having to ask for more when they did it was watered down and I watched them do it. I will add that the food was excellent as was the entertainment. As for aphrodites rock no history not even shown which rock it was. The rock all felt very rushed and more of box tick than part of tge experience. The guide was a very pleasant lady and her passion for Cyprus shone through its not terrible but could be better

Nettes Dörfchen und man spürt schon das zypriotische Feeling doch nur was für englische Gäste. Wir wurden von der TUI- Mitarbeiterin bei der Buchung angewiesen, festliche Kleidung zu tragen doch waren wir fast die einzigsten, die in schicker Garderobe antanzten. Der Drink am Felsen fand nicht direkt am Strand statt, sondern auf einer Aussichtsplattform mit Sicht auf den Aphroditefelsen. Es gab einen nicht mal halb gefühlten Pappbecher Wein.

Whilst the greek meal and folk dancing were extremely enjoyable, the wine tasting was not what we expected. We could have gone to the supermarket ourselves and bought our own bottle rather than had the "mouthfull" in a paper cup which was what we received.

No negatives here, even though the walk down to Ahprodite's rock was unsuitable for the less mobile we still stopped nearby for those who couldn't make it down the steps could see the attraction from a reasonable vantage point. Of course the tour de force Lisa was our guide, this woman is a goldmine. great knowledge and as this was the first trip to this restaurant this year, she wanted everything to be right. It was, great food, brilliant dancing, an experience enjoyed by all!

Overall we enjoyed the evening, transport arrived on time, the visit to the rock to see the sunset was lovely. The only negative was the guide. Lisa, never stopped talking much of the time about herself. She should concentrate on the key points of the experience rather than herself and unfunny jokes.

As soon as we were picked up by the rep Lisa, we knew we were in for a great night. Lisa is an asset to TUI ! Lisa gave us all so much history of paphos, and knew what she was talking about, and it wasn’t just a history lesson she was giving us, it was enjoyment just listening to her. I have in the past listened to reps and felt they were just reading a script, but with Lisa it was coming from the heart We come to paphos every year, and will definitely be bringing booking a trip with Lisa !!

What a fabulous evening. We had a lovely, funny guide Lisa. We watched the sun setting whilst we stood on aphrodite beach, wasnt told which rock it was! Drove a short distance to a viewpoint to watch the sun set with a small cup of sparkling wine, there was also non alcoholic option. There was a proposal whilst we were there, very romantic! The highlight was the village mezze and entertainment. The food was amazing, wine was flowing (the waiters are very busy you just have to ask for more).

This was my favourite part of this holiday. The views of Aphrodite rock were stunning and I had a little paddle in the sea. The food, dancing and music in Kouklia was wonderful and it felt like a treat to take part in it. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the local area and had a close connection with everyone and did a little dancing and singing herself. If you would like a taste of the local culture then this is a fabulous experience. Thanks to everyone involved.

It took us 1 hour and 30 mins to get there having been the first picked up and the same coming back to the hotel. We weren’t notified that it would take so long to get there, and also, the bus journey will come part of most of the trip. Also, the first stop was rushed due to so many pick ups. By the time we went to the toilet it was almost time to walk back to the back. For 50 euros, I felt this was very overpriced

The evening started ok, the guide was very knowledgeable having done the job 39 years, but when we arrived at Aphrodites rock she served everyone a small half plastic cup of wine, nothing for children, then when we got to the tavern they brought out 1 jug of red one and 1 jug of white for our table, which meant we had again about half to 3/4 of a glass of wine, which considering it was sold as unlimited wine was very poor. Again nothing for the kids unless you paid extra for coke etc..

The guide was very knowledgeable and also cracked a few jokes, she was fun. The coach journey was a bit hairy at one point, a car had pulled a silly manoeuvre in front of the bus, the bus then tailgated the car far too close seeming out of anger at the driver along some mountain roads which was a bit hairy! The pink fizzy wine at the Aphrodite viewpoint was lovely. The food was wonderful and the dancing put on by a processional group was great and got people involved as much as they wanted to.

The trip was very well organised and the entertainment and food was brilliant. Our only disappointment was the photographer. She took photos of every couple/family but didn’t print off all the photos. When we asked where ours was she was rude. When I asked the guide whether they may get sent to the hotel instead the answer was No. I just feel she was totally disorganised and a few of our group were left disappointed. Having said that the rest of the evening was very enjoyable.
