Omodos Village

Nestled in the foothills of the Troodos Mountains, Omodos Village is one of Cyprus’ most picturesque villages, with its aged cobblestones, flower-lined shop fronts and stone-brick buildings lending a nostalgic air to the small mountain settlement. Omodos is an idyllic spot to shop for local handicrafts, explore the museums of the Monastery of the Holy Cross or watch the world go by from one of the many traditional cafes and tavernas, but its biggest claim to fame is its long history of wine production. 
As well as visiting the many vineyards and family-run wineries that surround the village, wine enthusiasts visiting Omodos can also see the island’s oldest Linos (a medieval wine press), which offers a unique insight into the region’s historic wine-making traditions.
