I haven't found one that has everything yet ... but have found a few that have something I love ...

Do you have a favourite Cypriot Village?

... OR

Have you found one that just has something special to make it worth visiting?

Hubby home Orph?!? You have been noticeably quiet of late!

We live in town so we love driving out to the villages and mountains when the opportunity arises!
I am not sure of the names of all the villages we have visited but each has something that draws you back - like the ladies making their lace in Lefkara or the little old lady who beckons you into her 'museum house' in Omodhos!

I am also quite partial to the Polis and Latchi area as they always appear so serene. Maybe that is a bit too close though eh Orph? We could be 'near neighbours' heaven forbid!

The saying goes,' do not disturb the snake that lies curled asleep'.

Leave it be. But then where would we get our kicks from.

Anglissidhes/Anglisiya.

I dont mind the visitors or tourists.

The land of my ancestors.

The vineyards, olive and carob groves where I spent plenty time toiling.

The low lying hills and oft dry river beds. The waste lands and the secret

places where I would find the best wild asparagus and Narcissi.

The mountain of Stavrovouni standing erect like a giant spynx. Watching

it every morning reborn and rising through the morning mist.

There is no other village better than my village. I would say that even

though I have not lived there since 1963. I can still smell the pine trees

above the vineyards, and the Feslegen/ Fistica/ Basilica/Vasilija in the

inner courtyard of our old house.

I will always remember the Papa (Yorgi) on his tractor driving through

the main street. I will never forget the comic sized Turkish priest

travelling from Alaminyo on his aged donkey every friday so he could

lead us in the Friday prayers.

That is MY village. It will always have a special place in my heart. I hope

to live there again one day. The blossom of the almond trees beckon me.





I must thank George for the lovely photos. A fellow forumer.

Regards

Beautiful pictures Deniz

Do not think we have ever been to your village RichardB, but looks like we will sometime in the future. Lovely!

Careful and beware the wrath of Orph!
