Pachna

Pachna (Greek: Πάχνα) is a village in Limassol district with 865 inhabitants in 2011. It is subdivided into Pano (upper) and Kato (Lower) Pachna, which fuels healthy local rivalry (the Pano lot consider themselves superior) but for all intents and purposes they are the same village. Perched at an altitude of 750 metres on the southern slopes of the Troodos Mountains it enjoys an ideal climate for vine cultivation. It has long been the heartland of the Cypriot ‘’κρασοχώρια’’ (wine villages) and you will not come across a local who does not own a vineyard or two. The two local wineries (see below) have developed a reputation for quality whilst using mostly local grape varieties. If you visit Pachna, there is not much else to do other than relax, eat and drink.
