You are here: Home » Tillyria
Nestled on the coastal foothills of the Troodos Mountains, in the northwestern corner of Cyprus where the districts of Lefkosia (Nicosia) and Pafos meet, lies the region of Tillyria — or Tillyrka, as the locals call it.
Here, you’ll discover Cyprus in its purest and most authentic form — untouched, unfiltered, and truly unforgettable. Time moves more slowly here, and nature, history, and tradition weave together into a captivating travel experience.
Wander through peaceful villages like Kato Pyrgos, Pomos, and Pachyammos, where stone-built chapels and quaint fishing harbours whisper stories of pilgrims, merchants, and conquerors. Discover Agios Rafael Church, the Dragon’s Cave, the ruins of a medieval tower, traditional charcoal kilns, and coastal paths that once connected remote communities on foot.
Tillyria isn’t just for the curious traveller — it’s also a paradise for food lovers. Try freshly caught fish, the region’s unique halitzi cheese, sun-dried figs of the local koutsinos variety, juicy prickly pears, and rich carob honey. These traditional flavours reflect the deep bond between the land and its people.
With no crowds and a slower pace, Tillyria invites you to reconnect — with nature, culture, and yourself.
Come and uncover this hidden gem of Cyprus.
