Travel Guide Peristerona Chrysochous

Dubbed the "golden land" (Chrysochous), so as not to be confused with two other villages of the same name near Nicosia and in the northern zone, Peristerona enjoys a beautiful setting, between the bay of Chrysochous and the Troodos massif, which begins immediately to the east. For a long time, Peristerona and its neighboring villages have remained untouched by tourism, but now they have begun to transform old houses into charming accommodations. The aptly named Harma Suites are a case in point. And 6 km to the south-east, in the middle of nowhere, near Sarama, the offer is expanding with a well-kept campsite and unusual Mongolian yurts. So you can come here to recharge your batteries, close to the hustle and bustle of the seaside, but in a quiet, pleasant setting and for much less than on the coast. In the center of Peristerona, you'll discover precious medieval icons in the diocesan museum. Nearby? A small artificial lake classified as a Natura 2000 site, or sumptuous views from the belvedere of the "Eagles' Nest" gorge. As for the restaurants, they remain authentic with simple, tasty Cypriot cuisine.
