Picturesque spa village in Marathasa Valley boasting healing sulfur springs, a Venetian bridge, and UNESCO monastery.
Kalopanayiotis is widely celebrated as one of Cyprus's most impeccably restored heritage mountain villages. It spans the dramatic Setrachos River canyon crossed by a 16th-century stone Venetian bridge.
Natural mineral sulfur springs have flowed here since ancient times when pilgrims visited the temple of Asclepius. Across the river stands the UNESCO-listed Monastery of Saint John Lampadistis.
Located in the Marathasa Valley, accessible via route E908 off the main Troodos mountain road.
