Omodos is a picturesque mountain village nestled in the heart of the Troodos range, standing at 800 meters above sea level. This traditional Cypriot village is a favorite stop for those seeking local wine tasting, leisurely strolls through cobbled streets, and a glimpse into authentic rural life.

Visitors are invited to explore restored village homes now functioning as museums, browse local artisan shops offering handcrafted silver jewelry, delicate glassware, lace embroidery, traditional sweets, and the well-known Arkatena pretzels. Omodos is also a great place to shop for unique souvenirs and locally made crafts.

The village’s centerpiece is the historic True Cross Monastery, (Timios Stavros Monastery), home to sacred Christian relics, including a piece of the True Cross — a revered spiritual landmark in Cyprus.
