Cypriot Villages

A few weekends ago, I went to Platres and Omodos, two small villages at the Troodos Mountains. When I was a kid, I used to spend my whole summer holidays at Platres; the first picture is the view from my parent's house. You can see all the way to the sea side on the south side of the island.

Omodos is a famous village known for its wine-making, its "arkatena" rusks and its laces -the celebrated "pipiles" (or Narrow-Knit Laces). You can learn more about the laces here.
