One of my favourite places is the Maronite village called Kormakitis (Korucam in Turkish). The village is fairly typical with the style of houses, but it is the Church that is so beautiful. There is also a lovely restaurant there which is also a Butchers shop famous for the woman Butcher! They make wonderful mezze and their own farm supplies the lamb chops!! Maria, who runs the restaurant makes THE BEST yoghurt I have ever tasted. It is located in the North-West. Maria speaks fluent English Turkish and Greek and every Sunday the place is packed with Greek Cypriots, Turkish Cypriots and just a few foreign tourists. It is well worth a visit!!

I love yoghurt! Never really ate it back home, but now as I eat salad every day I eat - well - just cannot get enough!!

Until I came to Cyprus, the only yoghurt I ate was bright pink, sickly sweet with lumps in !!!!

Agros would be a nice village to visit as a tourist, but for the locals it's just another village looking for tourism. There are so many beautiful hidden villages in Cyprus that one could visit but most of them don't provide accommodation.

Here's a shot from the hotel room balcony in Agros.

A pictoresque village indeed.

I agree. There are many more pictoresque villages in Cyprus, especially in the Troodos region. It would be very difficult to single any one out.

Karmi, in the north on the Pentadaktylos, beneath St. Hilarion would be a candidate for the best scenery; but then there is a lot I have never seen.
