Bellapais Village is the most famous of all villages that we will visit. The village is developed around the 13th century Bellapais Monastery.

As a former home of British writer Lawrence Durrell, the village and the monastery became famous with his book ''Bitter lemons of Cyprus''.

Karmi Village. The village of Karmi is famous with its whitewashed little cottages, traditional stone houses, colourful antique doors, quirky narrow alleys, and secret passages. It is an architectural protection zone and all houses are owned by Europeans, mostly British with a long-term lease. Such structure enables the village to have its own community and vibe. The streets are full with bougainvilleas and laidback stray cats that are fed by the village community.
