Episkopi

Episkopi, is built on a steep slope on the west side of the Ezousa River valley. A stroll around the village reveals to visitors that the traditional core of the village remains unchanged. The old stone drinking fountain with its characteristic arches still stands.
Within the area lies the Episkopi Rock and one of the most elegant historical monuments: the 16th century Sindi Monastery, recipient of a Europa Nostra award for excellence in restoration (1997).
At a distance of around 1.5 kms north of the village is a picnic site recently established as a joint initiative by the community and the village’s emigrants. It is an idyllic location on the east bank of the Ezousa, surrounded by greenery.
The area’s geological formations and the existence of the valleys with their perennial water have resulted in a wealth of species and habitats.
