Archimandrita

[Dominic]

If you have ever driven up to the Troodos through the wind farms above Kouklia, you will have passed through Archimandrita. You probably drove straight through, as it is only the start of your journey. Next time, set off an hour or two earlier and allow yourself time to explore this little jewel...

Nice blog from a very pretty village Dominic. The builder of my last house came from this village > 20 years ago when the main road was only a dirt track leading to Moussere and most of the houses looked like abandoned...

The translation on the door of the cave of the Fathers is roughly: " Who wants to see the bones of the Fathers has to ask for the key from the priest"

The pretty little house with covered entrance is a coffee shop as the sign reads: kafenion (I think)

Good stuff Dominic.

Just by the cave is a path that leads down to Kato Archimandrita, that is where you will find the disused mill and Venetian bridge. There is also a very pretty church down there amongst the abandoned village.

If you do the walk in spring the colours in the valley below are just amazing.
