Overview

Think quiet cobbled streets, the peels of old bells showering down from an ancient monastery tower, narrow alleys leading to beautiful little squares and intriguing dead ends set with ornate carvings and artworks, and you have one of Cyprus’s oldest, most atmospheric towns.

Once a business hub for lace and silverwork, the legacy of incredibly skilled craftsmen and women lives on in the graceful Venetian-style merchant houses, which all offer great opportunities for a little Cypriot style retail therapy, and cute restaurants and sleepy cafes provide the perfect rest stop in between.
