Arsos

Arsos is a village in the Limassol district built at a height of 800m above sea level with particularly charming architecture, preserving to a large extend its traditional character whose main element is the magnificently carved limestone.

Arsos wine, famous since the antiquity, was considered one of the best produced on the island, a reputation continuing to this day. In fact, wine making is still the villagers' main occupation. Arsos acquired its name in the French Lusignian era when it was called Tarcce. Apart from the natural beauties of the village itself, today's visitor will be enchanted by the rich and attractive scenery surrounding it.

Lofou

Some 26 km northwest of the town of Limassol lies the village of Lofou, one of the most beautiful and historical villages of the island. Built of stone, it acquired its present name in the Byzantine years because of its location at the top of a hill (lofos in Greek).  The village and surrounding area cultivate mainly vineyards, while the natural, wild vegetation is quite distinct and includes a great variety of herbal plants.

Today Lofou preserves its traditional architecture to a great extend, while in recent years there has been an increasing interest in the restoration of its old houses. In its stone paved alleys, the visitor will feel that unique sense of looking back into stories and legends of the past.

One of the remarkable personalities of the village who came back to Lofou with the dream to restore the house of his parents was Kostas.That was 1991!! Kostas also opened the “Lofou Tavern” where you can enjoy the most delicious Meze, accompanied with his bouzouki music!

Twelve years later and after a lot of effort a lot of young people came back and restored the abandoned village.  Even though, apart from Kostas and a few others, nobody lives in Lofou, the village became the chance for a new start, which we hope to support. Lofou is certainly one of the most beautiful village in the area and offers great opportunities for walking, cycling, painting etc.

Omodhos

On the Southern slopes of the Troodos mountains, among the picturesque wine-producing villages, known as "Krasohoria", lies the oldest one, the charming Omodhos village.

It is approximately 21 km from Limassol and 18 km from the nearest beach. The large cobbled village square next to the old Monastery of the Holy Cross is unique in tradition and character. It is surrounded by white stone-built dwellings, shops selling the famous and beautiful hand-made lace and jewellery, tavernas and cafes and is an ideal place to gather and meet with the local people, in a hospitable and old fashioned atmosphere. The friendly inhabitants, vine growers since the olden days, are warm and welcoming, and consider a visit to their village as a compliment. The streets are spotless and very picturesque and everything has retained its original architectural character. Omodhos is a village rich in cultural history and its famous Monastery of the Holy Cross, houses the Holy Rope left in Omodhos by St. Helen in 327a.d. In the old days the village was a unique center of education and literature not only in the surrounding areas but all over Cyprus.
