High-altitude Laona village (630m) renowned for cooling mountain breezes, heritage loom weaving, and peninsula vistas.

The stone village retains heritage loom weaving workshops, a charming Weaving Museum, and sweeping panoramic views encompassing Chrysochou Bay on one side and the untamed Akamas ridge on the other.
