In the context of the Community Council's efforts for the qualitative upgrade of tourism in the village, it already has started its efforts for the onset of eco-tourism in the community. Eco-tourism is an ambitious plan with the participation of as many of the village's inhabitants that desire to convert their residencies into tourist lodgings, tourist shops, and traditional restaurants. All these must bear the character and the traditional environment of the community. Eco-tourism offers to the local and foreign tourists the opportunity of spending their holidays close to nature and close to the simple and hospitable people of Cyprus's countryside, becoming familiar with their manners and customs, and the traditional architectural character, trying out the traditional Cypriot cuisine and local products, and admiring the various items of folkloric tradition and craft. There is also the opportunity of being acquainted with the rural way of living and -in many instances -participating in the agrarian tasks if one so desires. In these reconditioned lodgings the tourist
will immediately find a warm atmosphere that will remain unforgettable.
At the same time, he/she will experience many pleasant surprises
out in the wild through walks in the verdant trails, visits to historic
monasteries and archaeological sites, and -generally -through the
uniqueness offered by the villages of Cyprus.
