A visit to Vouni

 

On a warm Sunday morning we took a drive up to the village of Vouni, which lies in the foothills of the Troodos mountains. 

The village of Vouni is known for its cobbled streets and wooden balconies. 

Escaping the morning sun we sat in the shade of a coffee shop in the village square for a cooling drink. The square was busy with local families enjoying their time off. There were also a number of old guys playing backgammon. 

We the took the short drive to just  outside the village passing numerous stalls where a celebration was taking place outside the Church of Agios Georgios.

We then strolled over to the Vouniotiko taverna where we were warmly greeted and shown to a table overlooking the local hills, dotted with vineyards. 

We then enjoyed a Sunday lunch of Keleftico and souvla, washed down with a very nice glass of wine.
