The scenic village of Lofou is in the district of the wine villages, between Limassol and Paphos. It is built amphitheatrically on the hills (Hill means Lofos in Greek, hence the name) and at an altitude of about 800 metres.

It is believed that the village was inhabited ever since the Bronze age. The first houses were actually farms scattered around the valley. The shepherds gradually built huts which they called “stiathkia’ and at a later stage they built houses using stones, with roofs made of wood and mud or clay.  It is not by chance that Lofou is listed by UNESCO as an architecturally important village.

Lofou is one of the wine villages of the island and belongs to the 4th Wine Route of Cyprus. There are 3 wineries very close to Lofou;Vlassides winery is just 5 minutes away by car, reachable also by bicycle in Koilani village and also the vineyards of Ayia Mavri also in Koilani, Argyrides winery in Vasa Koilaniou, Ktima Vasiliades and Gerolemo Estate in Omodos and many more.
