Omodos

Omodos is a small wine village, found in the Troodos Mountain in the centre of Cyprus. It has a population of less than 500, but is well known for the wine it produces. This tranquil, picturesque village is the perfect destination for people who want to experience traditional Cypriot life.

Getting there

Omodos is located 42km from the city of Limmassol, on the south side of the Troodos Mountain. It is easily accessed by car from nearby cities.

What to do in Omodos

Despite its small size, there are lots of enjoyable things to do here in Omodos. First of all I would recommend visiting the Timios Stavros monastery, which is one of the most historic monasteries on the island. The monastery houses some amazing relics and artefacts, including the remains of 26 saints.




Omodos is one of the most important wine villages in Cyprus, and has several established vineyards. I highly recommend sampling the local wines, and if you are visiting Cyprus in August, try to go to the wine festival here.

There are several museums to visit here, such as the Struggle Museum, Byzantine Icons museum, Cultural Museum, and the Ecclesiastical Treasury.
