Omodos is located 42 kilometres northwest of the town of Limassol in the geographical district of the Wine villages. It is built near the west bank of the Ha Potami River, at an average altitude of 810 metres. Omodos is built on the side of a mountain amongst a green carpet of vineyards, surrounded by mountains, and is one of the most graphical villages in Cyprus. The large village square, unique in graphics and distance in front of the monastery of the Timio Stavro, the medieval lino, the narrow roads, the stone built houses give the village a particular beauty and charm. The houses gather enough interest from an architectural point of view with their main elements being the traditional roof bricks, the flower filled gardens, the wooden gates as well as the various decorations on the balconies. Many artists were inspired to create artistic work in the village
