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 noticably 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! :lol:

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


Careful and beware the wrath of Orph! :lol: :wink:

Bubbles x 8)



I fear not. Not the least she ignores my lovely village. Methinks I'm in the dog house. Again. :lol: :lol:

I have many favourite villages not least Kakopetria , Tornarides (kato platres ) Kiperounta and of course Stroumbi the Great !! Theletra , the old Theletra was a very beautiful village with breathtaking views , and to a ceratin extent so is New Theletra .

One location that is my ultimate number one is Kourion Beach , reminds me so much of Alasia in Famagusta and yet they are not really similar .
I love Kourion and always visit and have fish lunch and wine at none other than Chris's Blue Beach !!
I will be there this coming Saturday 22nd March come rain or shine hoping to wet the baby's head , who hasn't showed up yet but hopefuly HE will do so by then !!

Back on topic.My favourite is in the Kouris valley where I have a house.400 year old houses,cobbled streets,one of the oldest churches in Cyprus.
Surrounded by rolling countryside,with orange,apple,pear,peach,almond trees,and very old grape vines.Wild birds in abundance,the Cyprus hare still in abundance.No new houses,a Mukhta who respects history and insists on sypathetic renovations to property.
All in all a place where time has stood still,bliss.

Stoumbi? Is that on the way to Polis/Latchi as I know the name but never visited :oops:

Seems like everyone goes to Chris's Blue Beach - we have had several meals there washed down with copious amounts of wine (NOT ME MILT! :oops: )

Hope you get here before your grandson does!
