Lovely little Lofou is all cobblestone alleyways and limestone-wall and red-roof houses - the epitome of the typical villages of the Mandaria region. 

Surrounded by orchards and fields sprouting wild fennel, this snoozy place is the perfect opportunity to stroll aimlessly and soak up traditional Cypriot life. 

Old ladies sit on doorstep stoops gossiping between the clicks of their knitting needles, while goats fossick in back lanes full of colourful baskets of geraniums and marigolds.
