Troödos Mountains


This old house offers agrotourism at its finest in the village of Palaichori (14km east of Agros). The house has deluxe rooms with modern facilities, but retains all its original characteristics. Great for self-catering families or romantics looking for a mountain escape. The balconies have unparalleled views over the village.
