Omodos & the wine villages in 60 seconds
Omodos is a handsome village in the Limassol wine country, with a paved square, old wine press and the Monastery of the Holy Cross. It works best as one stop in a wider circuit of vineyards and villages rather than as a place to exhaust in an hour. Try local wines with their producers, ask about the region's sweet Commandaria tradition, and avoid driving after tastings. The surrounding hill roads make a slow scenic day.
