Omodos Village

Cobblestone alleys, Holy Cross Monastery, medieval wine press, and Krasochoria family wineries.

The heart of Limassol's wine villages at 800m elevation. Stroll the stone lanes, enjoy Cypriot coffee on the monastery square, and taste local Xynisteri and Maratheftiko at nearby wineries.

Tips before you go

  • Park at the free community lot at the village entrance instead of squeezing into narrow lanes.
  • Pick up traditional crunchy arkatena bread from local bakeries.

How to get there

40 minutes north-west of Limassol via B8 / E601.
