Omodos, Cyprus
Visiting the homeland...
Taken last summer (2015) while visiting family.. I have family scattered all around the island. Usually stay in Limassol, or my sisters new house in Laneia. When not busy sunning it up at the beach, or stuffing ourselves with great Cypriot food, we do day trips, exploring the island. Omodos is a very well known Village.

Omodos (Greek: 'Ομοδος) is a village in the Troödos Mountains of Cyprus. It is also located in the Limassol District of Cyprus and is 80 kilometers from the city of Nicosia. The village produces a lot of wine and holds a wine festival every August. You can visit a 17th Century stone built monastery via a cobblestone path and sample local wine for free at many outlets. You will also find a good mix of restaurants including traditional tavernas and a few modern bars housed in traditional buildings

Omodos is also known for their fine 'narrow-knit lacing'
It is not only a traditional craft, passed from mother to daughter and from grandmother to granddaughter, it is also a kind of artistic sensitivity of the cultural tradition, a style that is deeply rooted in the souls of Omodos's women.

-Where to go? We asked each other.
Mamona, Dora, Xoletra...
all first-seen, interesting village names.
We randomly picked Dora.
A beautifully village, in white stones. Played tavli at the local taverna & went around for exploration. View of the village from the hill of Agia Marina...where the story telling begun.
