Omodos, beautiful Cypriot mountain village on wine route
Omodos, the land of wine, beautiful old houses and cozy streets. There is no way you will not like this mountain village.
This is one of the Cypriot villages you have to visit. And if you like wine, then you are lucky, since Omodos is on the wine route here on the island. That means you will find a few good wineries to test the local products. You have the shops in the village and the wineries very close to it if you are going there by car.
Troodos – let’s explore Cyprus mountains
Summer is perfect for hiking and visiting villages, wineries, monasteries and waterfalls and winter for skiing. Don’t expect to find resorts like in the European mountains around here, but for the locals it’s enough to enjoy a sleigh ride and some skiing. I liked to explore the villages of Troodos, some almost deserted, I also looked for the beautiful Venetian bridges, I also checked monasteries and waterfalls.
Kykkos – the famous monastery of Cyprus
The most famous monastery in Cyprus is in the heart of the mountains, not even 30 km from the Troodos Square. The access road is in very good condition and even spectacular in places. The nearly 1,000-year history of the place of worship is a tumultuous one. But here you will find an icon that, if it were to be discovered, is said to blind anyone who looks at it.
