Tour at the community of Trimiklini village.

The village of Trimiklini is built in the largest valley of Cyprus and is located 27 km from Limassol, between Limassol and Troodos Mountain. Since many years ago it was a necessary stopover for rest.

Continuous high mountaintops surround the village with the highest mountain being mount Zalaka, with the exception of a large ravine, on the South side of the community, which is watered by the crystal clear water of Kouris River. The village is constructed in a way, which makes it impossible to be viewed as a whole from one spot.

The villagers are occupied by tree and vineyard cultivation. The largest production in percentage is that of peaches, nectarines, pears and plums. Wine and zivania are also well known, traditionally made products of the village.

There are two acceptations from where the name of Trimiklini village is originated, according to tradition.

The first acceptation claims that the name comes from the greek words "thermo klini", which in ancient times was supposed to be a very stable climate during both summer and winter so that lots of patients were visiting the village for healing. This is the reason why in Greek grammar the name of village is spelled with all"yiota letters" except for the last "etta letter".

The other acceptation by tradition claims that the name comes from the word "thermo krini" and was connected to a fountain, which had water running warm in the winter and cold in the summer.


An ancient bridge is found in Trimiklini,which is built by theshores of Kourisriver during the Venetians era. It is built of stones by the river and consisted of three consequent arches. Right here at this point was the joining of the district of Pafos to Kalo Chorio,Lefkara village and Nicosia.During theChristian era Saint Helen, with Stavrovouni as the starting point, crossed the bridge and carried the Holy Cross and the holy rope atthe ancient monastery of the Cross at Kouka village and Omodhos village.

Another sightseeing of Trimiklini is the only double bridge in Cyprus, which was partly built in 1901, when it was used as a carriage passage and completed in 1917 with the appearance of the first motor engined vehicles. At this point was the joining of Limassol, Trimiklini and Troodos.

The first road, which was constructed by the English troops in the district of Limassoland was begun from Limassol to Ipsonas, Alassa, Lania, Silikou, Trimiklini, Kouka, Pera-Pedi, Platees and Troodos, where the holiday residence of the first governor of Cyprus was built, is another important spot of the area. A large part of the road is reserved stone built and efforts are made by the involved communities to bereconstructed.

In Trimiklini, during 1955-60, a dam has been constructed at the shore of Kouris river, which is the largest river in Cyprus that waters a large area of the community (appr. 14.400 feet). It is the only dam of Cyprus that is always full, forming a huge lake of exceptional natural beauty, and where various birds nest during the summer months.

An ancient church, dedicated to the miraculous icon of Panayia Eleousa (His Holy Mother) as can be seen on the writing above its north entrance, was reconstructed in 1744.The above -mentioned writing and the existence of icons dated before 1744 prove that an even older church existed at the same spot. Remarkable decorative characteristics can be seen inside the church, on the wooden roof. The beams that support the church are wood carved with coloured decorations of geometric shapes and plants. The old and rare locking device on the west door is still preserved. What really attracts, though, inside the church are the icons that stand on a wood carved base. During the 1920s a new big church has been built beside the old chapel, which was completed by the 1950s.

By the contribution of the people of the community the first elementaryschool was made by stones of the area and begun functioning with 49 students in 1926. It now consists a part of the cultural heritage of the village and is owned by the community. It was revived by the Community Council and faces the community park and the amphitheatre. Today, a new regional elementary school operates with students from 11 communities. Across the community park stands thestatue of the hero Demetris Arminiotis who was killed on the 7th August 1974 fighting against the Turkish invaders and whose grave is in the Trimiklini cemetery.

At Trimiklini,by the Limassol-Platres highway, outside the village's coffee shops,by tradition, there is the everyday bazaar with traditional products for sale, such as zivania, wine, sioutzoukos, all kind of sweets and fruit produced by the villagers. It is a one of a kind bazaar held in Cyprus.
On the 9th of September 1994, the Community Centre of Trimiklini was opened housing the Community Council Offices and the Community Doctors. In the premises variouscultural activities of the community are also held.

In Trimiklini there are restaurants, coffee shops, sweet shop, gas station, supermarkets, butchery, flower shop where locals and foreigners can be served and spend some time for rest in the unique green surrounded environment of the village
