Lofou traditional village - a photo on Flickriver

Lofou traditional village

            Lofou is listed by UNESCO as an architecturally important village. Little more than 20 years ago it
was abandoned village but now the villagers are returning and restoring the homes in keeping with
their original character.

The village is situated in the heart of the wine making region and is widely regarded as one of the 
most enchanting and unspoiled villages in Cyprus. With a labyrinth of cobbled, traffic-free streets 
to explore and ruins sitting comfortably alongside renovated homes; Lofou gives a feeling of 
timelessness and wonder.

The peace and tranquility to be found in the village makes Lofou an ideal destination for those
wishing to escape the pressure of modern life.

Going downhill for 20 minutes by car, will take you to Limassol with it's seafront, old town and
plentiful shopping. In the opposite direction going uphill, you will find yourself high in the Troodos
Mountains, with forest walks, waterfalls and even skiing in the winter months.
