Historic hillside village built of local golden limestone, featuring a river bridge church founded by St Helena.
Tochni is a cornerstone of Cypriot agrotourism, cascading across two slopes of a picturesque valley. The traditional houses are built from the renowned golden-hued 'Tochni stone' quarried locally for generations.
Spanning the riverbed at the village center is a historic stone bridge supporting the Church of Saints Constantine and Helena, traditionally founded by Empress Helena during her voyage from Jerusalem.
Exit the A1 highway midway between Larnaca and Limassol following signs to Tochni.
