ARGONAFTIS Tours
Argonaftis Tours, began its operation in 1995 as an exclusive excursion company. Over the past 8 years has become one of the leading excursion operators in Cyprus. Our reputation is based on the high quality of our daily excursion programme and the excellent service we provide island wide. A dynamic and enthusiastic team supports the program and every year their aim is to improve and expand the current programme offering a variety of sightseeing tours, entertaining excursions, boat trips, jeep safaris, special interest activities and extra addhock events about art and culture.

In 1998 we came up with the idea of creating the Argonaftis Donkey Farm which, is located in a unique natural environment 25 km East of Paphos in the Xeros river valley, one of the most untouched and tranquil parts of the island. The beautiful landscape, the variety of classified plants and wild life and the authentic sounds of nature in this area, makes it the perfect setting for nature lovers. We provide shelter & Veterinary care for 72 Donkeys now and we incorporate this project into our excursion programme, as the "Village Culture - Donkey riding" excursion. Our aim is focussed not only towards the satisfaction we give to our guests but also to the healthy breeding program we have, which allows us to enjoy and experience very often new deliveries.

This enabled us to give our clients the chance to travel through mountain villages unchanged over the years, maintaining the true spirit of Cyprus. To see the donkeys in their own environment, to enjoy a quiet ride through the countryside onto a 13th century monastery, to taste homemade specialties, wine, zivania, to dance, have fun and capture the original village culture.The whole ambience is exceptional and is a unique alternative for a day & night out in the middle of nowhere... in Cyprus. This excursion is now operated in 5 different languages with great success & quarantines 100% clients' satisfaction.
