Discover the Hidden Gem of Cyprus: Arakapas

Arakapas is a quaint Cypriot village nestled in the foothills of the Troodos Mountains which aptly combines tradition, tranquillity and beauty of nature.

Arakapas is located in the midst of vibrant plant life, citrus trees, and the soft mountain breeze, which can make people forget their hectic life and relax.

Strolling along the paved avenues in Arakapasone will be surprised by old-fashioned stone houses, colourful court-yards and cordial natives who still preserve the ancient tradition in the island. The village boasts of a beautiful church that is dedicated to Prophet Elias, and is a source of cultural pride to the village. Each square mile of Arakapas is a story of courage, of a community, and of a strong respect towards land.

Arakapas is heaven to nature and outdoor lovers.

The trails around it offer picturesque walks down the valleys and forests, where one may have birdwatching, photography, or the nature in its serenity. In the spring, the valley enlivens with the wild flowers, and in the autumn it is flooded with the golden light.

It is in itself an experience to remain in the region
