Arodes village
The village of Arodes lies about 23km northeast of the town of Paphos, at an altitude
of 590m above sea level. The sea is only 7km away, and the village itself is close to the
Akamas Peninsula. Arodes is composed of two smaller settlements; Pano Arodes (mainly
Greek Cypriot) and Kato Arodes (previously mainly Turkish Cypriot). The mediaeval name
of the village was Rhodes, from the fact that it was the property of the Knights of St. John
of Jerusalem, whose headquarters were until 1522 in the island of Rhodes. The Christian
village contains an eighteenth-century Church of St. Kelandion, an early bishop of Paphos.
To the north side of the church lies the large stone ossuary of St. Agapiticos, while the
companion one of St. Misiticos is to the south. The village legend is that those who wish to
win the love of a person, be it a girl or boy, come secretly at night and chip off a fragment
of the sarcophagus of St. Agapiticos. This is powdered and introduced into the loved ones
drink, who will immediately reciprocate the donors passion. Conversely, should a person
desire to quarrel with another, he merely carries out the same procedure with powdered
stone from the ossuary of St. Misiticos. It is interesting to note that the latter is far more
worn away than that of St. Agapiticos, but this is explained by the fact that its powers are
much in request by young men and women who wish to change their lovers.

Sykopetra village
The Community of Sykopetra is a mountainous village built on the eastern foothills

of the Mountainous part of the Pitsilia Region of the Lemesos District. It is situated
on the borders of three districts, of Lemesos, Nicosia and Larnaca. The community
is approximately 30km away from Lemesos, 45km from Nicosia and 65 from Larnaca.
The community of Sykopetra consists of the village of Sykopetra, which is built on an
altitude of 800 metres, and the housing of Prophet Elias, which is built on an altitude of
950 metres.
Systematic archaeological research has not been conducted in the area. However,
findings that have come to light certify the existence of a settlement in the area ever
since the period of the Kingdoms of Cyprus (1050 B.C. 725 B.C.). In fact, in an area near
the village there is evidence proving the extraction of copper.
Place names and other evidence substantiate the historical correlation of the villages
identity to its existence ever since the Byzantine period and up until the ottoman
domination.
There are two versions concerning the naming of the village. The most predominant
version is a legend which has been passed down from generation to generation.
According to the legend, a princess named Nafsika was travelling towards her kingdom
in Tamasos. While riding her horse, it slipped at the large rock found above the village and
the princess was killed. According to the legend of local tradition, the horses footprint is
still evident today. The village was named after the princess, Nafsikopetra but with the
passing of time, it was renamed to Sykopetra to facilitate pronunciation. The second
version suggests that the name of the village is a combination of the words fig (syko)
and rock (petra) due to the multiple fig/prickly pear trees and rocks found in the area. The
settlement of Prophet Elias is more modern and according to historical sources, in the
past, it was called Lambiris. It was renamed by the first resident who had built the church
of Prophet Elias after he had found an icon of the Prophet in a river nearby.The village is
known for the cultivation of tangerines and many other kinds of fruit.
Visit the churches of Prophet Elias and Agios Demetrios. See the traditional olive mill in the
village. Follow the wine route no. 6 - Pitsilia. Hike in the nature trails of the area.

Episkopi village
Episkopi is a village of mixed population in the Lemesos (Limassol) district. Is is situated

about 14 km west of the city of Limassol and 40km east of Pafos, linked by the
motorway. Most of the village comes under the jurisdiction of the British base of
Akrotiri-Episkopi. Episkopi is built on the foothills of ancient Kourion with a fertile plain
stretching to the south, at an altitude of 60 metres, close to the west bank of the River
Kouris and overlooking the bay of Kourion. Archaeological findings, unearthed through
the entire area, reveal that during the ancient times Episkopi was connected to the city of
Kourion. During the first century AD, Episkopi succeeded Kourion as a regional centre a
Bishop Diocese. The seat was removed during the Frankish period (after 1222) when the
Orthodox Episcopal seats of the Island were reduced from 14 to 4.
De Mas Latrie says that in the 13th century Episkopi belonged to the aristocratic family
of John D Imbelin, Count of Giaffa (Jaffa). During the 14th and 15th century, the village
was known under the name of La Piscopia dei Cornari (The Cornaros Episcopate) and
belonged to the Cornaro family from which the last Queen of Cyprus, Catherine Cornaro,
descended. The King of Cyprus Peter gave the Episcopate to the Cornaro family as a gift.

as well as the forest thats north-east, compose a unique picturesque landscape.Apsiou
was one of the villages of the Grande Commandarie and it is mentioned by De Mass
Latrie as Apsiu and Apsius. Gunnis mentions the Church of the Virgin Mary, built in 1740,
as well as the well-known monastery of Amirou. Here are several versions regarding the
name of the village. One interpretation, that of Nearchos Clerides, reports that the village
took its name from the first miners that worked there. They came from Naxos (Greek
island), thus they were Naxiotes, Axiotes, Apsiotes, Apsiou. Another version reports
that several inhabitants of Apesia moved to the region and from that came the name
Apesia, Apesiou, Apsiou. Commandaria winery can be seen from the south of the
school. Several years ago the processing of grapes for the making of Commandaria was
done on site. For fifteen days the playground, the threshing floors and the surrounding
fields were turned into a large drying yard where the grapes were spread out to dry. A
great variety of geological formations exist here, attracting a number of scientists to the
region.

Fasoula Village
The village of Fasoula is in the district of Limassol, at a distance of about 7km north of
the city of Limassol. The village is built at an average altitude of 370 metres and receives
an average annual rainfall of about 550 millimetres. Locust, almond, and olive trees,
cereals, as well as a few citrus trees are cultivated in the area of the community. As far as
stockbreeding is concerned, it only operates in a limited manner.
From the perspective of transportation, Fasoula is connected via turnpike roads to
the city of Limassol on the south, and the village of Spitali in the west. It connects
via a macadamised street to the village of Apsiou in the north and with the village
of Mathikoloni in the east. Today the inhabitants of the community number 400. The
village existed since the Medieval years and it can be found marked in old maps under
the names Fasula and Pasula. However, the area of the village was inhabited ever since
ancient times. Indeed, there was a temple dedicated to Lavranios Zeus in the southwest
of the village, at a distance of about 800 meters on top of the venue named Kastros. This
hilltop is today known under the name Moutti tou Dhkia Hilltop of Zeus. Inscriptions
-all engraved on pedestals of statues-dedicated to Lavranios Zeus have been found on
this hilltop. These inscriptions date back to the 2nd century AD, that is, at a time that
Christianity had already become dominant in Cyprus. So it seems that the region of
Fasoula was one of the last strongholds of paganism.
The natural environment of the village is truly unique.During springtime, the verdurous
valley with its blooming almond-trees and the crops create an amazing sight. Today
Fasoula attracts many locals and foreigners for short escapes.

altar cloth, which he donated to the Milan
Cathedral.

best preserved sites of a prehistoric
settlement brought to light in the
Eastern Mediterranean, and has

Byzantine churches of Cyprus that were deemed to be of particular importance and were

the people who lived in the lower lands, the katochorites (lower-village inhabitants),
went there in order to buy milk. The people would say amongst them lets go over
there to the galataes (plural, milkmen) and buy some milk. Out of galataes, always
according to tradition, came the name Galata. Another tradition reports that the first
settlers came from Galatia of Asia Minor and were named Galates (Byzantine era). So
their small settlement was named Galata. According to Greek mythology, Cyprus was the
first land that Aphrodite set foot on; where Pygmalion begged her to let him be with the
statue that he created in her image. Aphrodite brought the statue to life and Pygmalion
married Galata. It is a popular summer tourist destination (especially amongst locals) for
