Kakopetria
Κακοπετριά
A traditional village on the northern foot of the Troodos, with old timber houses built along the river. It is a base for visiting the painted churches.
Kakopetria lies in a valley on the northern slope of the Troodos Mountains at about 670 metres. Its old district, 'Palia Kakopetria', features stone-and-timber houses, wooden balconies and old mills lining the river, and it is a protected area. The village has many trout restaurants and guesthouses. About 4 km outside the village is the World Heritage Church of St Nicholas of the Roof. From Limassol, it takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes by car over the Troodos Mountains.
