Welcome to the Playground of the Gods
With its awe-inspiring natural beauty and rich mythology, Cyprus has rightly earned its reputation as the playground of the gods.

Itinerary
Day 1Travel to Cyprus
After meeting the Limitless Team at the airport special assistance desk, we’ll make our way through security and head for our boarding gate together. We recommend booking special assistance with the airport before flying if required, but the Limitless team will also be on hand to provide additional support as we check in and board the plane. We're there to ensure the airport experience is as easy as possible, advocate on your behalf, and give you the confidence to fly, so we'll be by your side throughout the journey.
On arrival at our destination, the Limitless Team will help you through the airport and onto the awaiting accessible transfer vehicle. From there, it’s on to your excellent disabled-friendly hotel, where we’ll check in, get you settled and comfortable in your room, and enjoy a delicious evening meal with your fellow guests.
Day 2Relax Poolside & Settle In
On your first full day in Cyprus, we’ll take it easy, settle in at the hotel and enjoy its fantastic facilities. With a hoist-accessible pool and raised sun loungers, the hotel is perfectly equipped for disabled visitors who want to top up that tan and then cool off with a quick dip! Your hotel is owned and run by a wonderful, welcoming family, who you’re sure to meet as you relax, unwind and bask in the Mediterranean sun.
In the evening, we’ll gather and make our way to a local accessible restaurant to share our evening meal. Just a 10-minute stroll or roll from the hotel, the short walk will give you your first taste of the local town, Polis. Dinner is a brilliant opportunity to get to know your fellow Limitless Travellers a little better and enjoy Cyprus’ mouthwatering cuisine.
Day 3Postcard-Perfect Polis
Located on the north-western edge of the island, Polis is a pretty, traditional town, and we’ll spend today exploring its old-world charms. Daily life revolves around the pedestrianised central square, where you will find plenty of shops, cafes and atmospheric tavernas, from which you can sit back with a coffee or refreshing beverage and watch the world go by at a wonderfully languid pace.
Polis is also home to Blue Flag beaches, the largest of which is a beautiful crescent sweep of golden sand and turquoise waters. The calm Mediterranean Sea and shallow water ensure it’s a safe and enjoyable spot for swimming. Much of the area surrounding Polis is a protected nature reserve, so visitors also benefit from spectacular, unspoilt landscapes.
Day 4Kykkos Monastery & Troodos Mountains
Kykkos Monastery
Founded towards the end of the 11th Century by the Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos, Kykkos Monastery is one of the wealthiest on the island. Situated in the breathtaking Troodos mountain range, it is home to one of only three icons attributed to the apostle Luke and is famed for its lavish interiors and spectacular artwork.
The monastery was partly destroyed in a series of fires, though enough of the structure remains to give you a real feel for its historic grandeur. These fires make up just a small part of the monastery’s fascinating history, which also includes tales of hermits, plagues of locusts, and one-armed Turks. You’ll learn about all of this, and more, on your guided tour of the monastery and surrounding area.
Day 5Latchi Accessible Beach
Latchi Beach
Following our day exploring the Troodos Mountains, today is all about unwinding and embracing the gentle pace of island life. While you’re welcome to take it easy at the hotel, there’s also the option to head to Latchi accessible beach, which is just a 10-minute taxi journey or a 35-minute mobility scooter ride from the hotel.
The beach is equipped with a mechanical hoist that allows for easy access to the sea, while its white sand and pristine waters reflect the remarkable natural beauty of the Cypriot coast. Of course, you could also wander into Polis or talk to the Limitless Team about other possible excursions, too.
Please note, this is an optional beach excursion and may not be available in autumn or winter. Transfers to and from the beach can be arranged for an additional cost, subject to availability.
Day 6Explore Ancient Paphos
Paphos
Today, we’ll visit the coastal city of Paphos. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and former European Capital of Culture, the city boasts a fascinating mythology, equally impressive history and striking architecture. Celebrated as the birthplace of the Greek goddess Aphrodite, Pathos abounds with landmarks, all of which have a story to tell. The Tomb of Kings houses the remains of the city’s ancient residents, while the Paphos Archaeological Site features the remnants of the island’s 2000-year-old capital.
For those looking to enjoy Paphos’s modern amenities, the array of accessible beaches and alfresco bars, cafés and restaurants means there are plenty of spots to sample the best in Cypriot cuisine, grab a cooling beer, or watch the boats come and go in the busy harbour. With a diverse range of shops and boutiques around the water’s edge, it’s also a good place to pick up your holiday souvenirs.
Day 7Relax, Unwind & Enjoy the Sun
On your penultimate day in Cyprus, you can soak up the sun, kick back by the accessible pool and make sure you enjoy a relaxing day in paradise. The Limitless Team will be on hand to help if you would like to organise a local excursion, too. Why not take a trip over to the local beach for a dip in the sea or a classy cocktail at the beach cafe? Or head into Polis for a lazy lunch and a little last-minute shopping?
Once again, we’ll meet in the evening and make the short walk over to the accessible restaurant for our farewell dinner. It’s sure to be a lovely evening sharing holiday memories and enjoying the fantastic company of new friends.
Day 8Airport Transfer & Flight Home
Today, your accessible holiday comes to an end. After breakfast, the Limitless Team will help you transfer to the airport. We’ll be on hand to help you through the airport, while you’re boarding the plane and during your flight. Once we touch down in the UK, we’ll accompany you through to arrivals and wave you off on your journey home. We’ll see you next time!
