Koilani Village & Wineries

Historic winemaking hub in the Krios Valley, home to world-renowned Ayia Mavri sweet Muscat.

A deeply authentic wine hamlet nestled amid terraced vine slopes. Koilani is famous for the Ayia Mavri boutique winery, whose luscious Muscat dessert wine regularly claims top global awards at international competitions in France and the UK.

The village also preserves an Ecclesiastical Museum, olive mills, and ancient stone grape-pressing vats.

Tips before you go

  • Book a tasting at Ayia Mavri winery to savor their multi-award-winning sweet wines.
  • Visit the 12th-century Ayia Mavra chapel under massive plane trees by the river.
  • Sample soutzoukos (grape-must roll with almonds) made fresh in village kitchens.

How to get there

35 km north of Limassol following the Troodos B8 road, turn off towards Koilani.
