Lania
Λάνεια
A well-preserved stone wine village with many artists' studios, one of the most photogenic small villages on the southern slopes of the Troodos Mountains
Lania lies about 25 km north of Limassol. Its ochre-coloured stone houses and wooden balconies are well preserved, and the village once attracted many artists who set up studios and pottery workshops here. Narrow lanes display ancient grape-pressing equipment and a small folk museum. The village is small, so a walk takes about an hour, and cafés serve local sweet wine and nut-and-honey pastries. It makes a convenient stop on the way from Limassol to the Troodos Mountains.
