In the west of Cyprus, in the hills between Limassol and Paphos, the cozy village of Wuni is hiding: warm, stone, quiet. Dry herbs rustle along the paths, cats are asleep in dusty pots, and views open from the tops that seem to be removed from the paintings of artists.
The labyrinth of stone streets
The village of Wuni is built on the slope of the mountain. Its name is translated - "mountain". This is a real kingdom of narrow paved streets. They loop between traditional houses. The houses have beautiful wooden doors and cozy courtyards. Once, Wuni was a prosperous center of winemaking. Today it is an oasis of silence and tranquility. He attracts connoisseurs of a genuine Cyprus atmosphere.
A special place awaits you on the village square. This is an old cafe with a spacious hall that remembers 115 years of history. Here you can drink coffee and feel the unhurried rhythm of local life.
Heritage of faith and life
Wuni carefully keeps his history and traditions. Here you will find several significant shrines - each with its own unique atmosphere. The main temple of Wuni is the Church of St. John the Baptist. Be sure to visit the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Pervuniotissa - she is only a kilometer from the village. The Church of St. Mamant of 1938 is also interesting. Nearby is the monastery of the resurrection of the Savior.
Чтобы глубже погрузиться в культуру, загляните в музеи. В деревне их несколько. The Museum of Folk Art, the Winel Museum and the ancient olive mill will talk about the life of Cypriots and will remind of the glorious past of these places.
Path to an ancient cave
Wuni offers a special route to lovers of adventure. There is a mulos cave next to the village. The path from the center of the village will take about 15 minutes. You will go along the rocky paths among wild herbs. Then you have to climb a little along the slope. The reward will be a view of a small beautiful cave. She is hidden from prying eyes. This is an ideal place to relax and contemplation.
