This mountain village, nestled in a valley, with hills on either side is very quaint with beautiful stone walls seen on the approaches. Wandering the small back streets one can understand it's charm.
Unfortunately recent construction of modern "slab concrete" houses means that the character of the village is rapidly deteriorating, a terrible pity.
Aerial Cableway
The remains of an aerial cableway can be seen on the northern hills; remains of a building and foundations for the cable gantries can be found. This cableway was used to transport asbestos from the open cast mine at Amiantos, Troods to a loading point in Limassol. By carefully searching, a gantry foundation can also be found on the southern hills.
Churches
There are two Greek Orthodox churches in the village, Agia Anna and Agios Nikolaos.
