Pelentri

Head out to the charming little villages of Kakopetria and Pelendri in the Troodos Mountains from Nicosia, and enjoy stunning scenery, historical buildings, and an optional winery tour. Start your tour with a visit to the popular summer vacation spot, Kakopetria, a mountain on Troodos foothills, known for its traditional architectural buildings and the breathtaking pine forest scenery of the Solea Valley. While in Kakopetria, explore the old quarter of the village, and stroll along narrow, stone-paved alleys. Next, stop by the nearby Pelendri village, home to the impressive 14th-century Church of the Holy Cross. If you're a wine lover, consider an optional visit to a local winery to learn more about Cyprus' wine culture, and have a delicious tasting of Cyprus' unique wines, including the local sweet wine, Commandaria.
