Northwest of Limassol is the village of Kouka, which is among the preserves of Limassol since everything is restored to maintain their traditional character. The village is known for the church of the Holy Cross, which is the oldest in Cyprus and in it there is the Cross “of Koukas” with scraps of Holy Wood. In the community there is also the new museum that presents the viticulture of the village. (photo: Cyprus Alive)

For food: Taverna Kouka . Tavern located in the homonymous village which is one of the smallest in the province of Limassol. The area is located directly opposite the village church and offers delicacies and ala kart options in a well-kept traditional environment with stone and wood dominating. In the winter months they light the fireplace. Often with live music.
