A medieval stone sculpture stands at the upper part of the long paved square which is surrounded by neat, traditional stone houses. This is a sprawling village and the centre of the ‘Pasteli’ sweet, cottage industry. The carob bean, at one time one of the major exports of the island, is the source of this traditional Cyprus sweet and the ‘Pasteli’ museum a fascinating visit. The village is a 30 minute drive from Paphos airport and forty minutes from Limassol. The nearest beach is a 15 minute drive, Avdimou, where there is a day time beach taverna. There are one or two friendly grocery shops in the village square, a local winery,  the Oleastro olive park and a taverna is a 10 minute walk away.
