Visitors to the Limassol district may not realize that its area actually stretches beyond the coast to encompass the Troodos mountain region as well with its beautiful and traditional villages.
There is a daily bus service departing from the Central Bus station in Limassol to Troodos square via the villages of Saittas, Mandria, Pera Pedi, and Platters terminating at the Troodos square.

Another option to visit the area is to hire a car and then head into the direction of the Troodos mountains.

On the way, the following are some of the villages to stop at:
Lania: This pretty village, known as the “artists’ village”, is home to several studios & galleries open to the public.
Omodos: The site of the oldest wine press in Cyprus, this village takes you back in time, with its winding, narrow, cobbled streets, small cafes and restaurants tucked into the walls of the streets, and dainty little shops displaying their wares.
Vouni: This small, hilly village, home to scattered, obscure-shaped vineyards, is also home to the Friends of the Cyprus Donkey Sanctuary, open from 10:00 am¬ to 16:00 pm Mon-Sat and is a wonderful place to spend some of your day where you can also visit the Kalorama Tea Room which has recently opened for business.
Arsos: One of the oldest villages in Cyprus (used to be known as Alsos in the past) with very few new buildings which helps to preserve its ancient character. At the centre of the village is the beautiful church of Apostolos Philipou (dating back from 1800) which was recently renovated in its original style.
There are two small, but well know wineries in Arsos: Nikoletino winery and Laona winery. The later was recently purchased by KEO the top wine & beer producer in Cyprus.
Foini: One of the most picturesque villages in Cyprus, it is well-known for its pottery, traditional furniture and sweets, though citrus fruits, apples, pears, peaches, plum, vegetables, and walnuts are cultivated here. Nearby is the attractive Trooditissa Monastery.
Agros: Known for its Byzantine church, its production of smoked meats
(Lounza, Hiromeri), rosewater, Cyprus sweets, and carob syrup. There is also a local mineral spring, the water of which is commercially bottled. Beautiful views and narrow roads make this a wonderful pit stop.
Platters: The largest mountain resort in Cyprus, strewn with fabulous nature trails, Is where the inhabitants of Limassol flock to escape the summer heat. It’s known for the Caledonia Falls, situated next to the Psilo Dentro Trout Farm & restaurant.
