Discover Tylliria area is on the north shore of Cyprus, where one can say that it resembles a peninsula in between the bay of Morphou to the east and the bay of Chrysochous to the west. Nestled on the coastal foothills of the Troodos mountains, in the northwestern corner of the island where the districts of Nicosia and Pafos meet, lies this region — also known as Tillyrka.
In this region, youʼll discover Cyprus in its purest and most authentic form — untouched, unfiltered and truly unforgettable.
From peaceful villages, where new-age ceramic artists work, stone-built chapels and quaint fishing harbours whisper stories of pilgrims, merchants and conquerors, to trail of hobbits, dragon caves, the ruins of medieval towers, traditional charcoal kilns and coastal paths that once connected remote communities on foot; Tylliria isnʼt just for the curious traveller — itʼs also a paradise for food lovers. From freshly caught fish, the regionʼs unique halitzi cheese, sun-dried figs of the local koutsino variety, juicy prickly pears, and rich carob honey. An array of traditional sights and flavours that reflect the deep bond between the land and its people.
