Lofou Village

Picturesque view of Lofou and Church

The village Lofou lies 26 Kilometers Northwest of Limassol. To get there follow the Limassol - Troodos road and just past Alassa you will see a sign post indicating Lofou. The village is built over hills like an amphitheatre, at an altitude of about 800 meters.

The village of Lofou Cyprus has withstood the test of time. Walking its maze of narrow cobbled stone streets and viewing the old stone buildings brings you back to a mostly forgotten glorious time.

As you walk the streets, you quickly discover that not a single one is level - they either go upwards or downwards. No street is straight, each turn is an adventure in discovery. You can not see what lies ahead beyond the next bend in the road, making your walk most enjoyable. There are numerous areas where you can see the whole village, similar to looking at a master painter's canvas.

The village is beautiful but deserted - it does however come somewhat alive during the weekends, mid August for a few weeks, Easter holiday and Christmas.
