I liked the center of the village where there are 'kafenedes' coffee places on both sides of a cobbled street and huge vine trees making shade along the street! Nice! There are summer festivals there with wine themes and sweets.

Narrow streets, lovely little taverna in the main square, great spot to watch the locals ....watching over you as they sip their coffee. Again, the surrounding hills are a painter's delight. Superb Cypriot church and museum. My great grandma had a house here, hence I have a soft spot for Koilani.

After a great day driving through the mountains, starting out of Pafos, we ended up in Koilani. It was the prefect, most peacefull village ever. The old traditional village preserved in a beautifull way. We had dinner in a very small restaurant, husband and wife running the kitchen together.Excellent food at unbelievable prices. The name is Mezedes tis Marias. Great ending of a great day!

We took a tour with Discover Cyprus tours towards the Troodos mountains and Koilani was a pass by, it seem to be a quiet village with a small centre and a church. Some of the traditional houses have been refurbish and that was good to see, also there is a winery there but i cant remember the name, for sure it worths a visit.

Koilani is considered among one of the best preserved villages in Cyprus, as the people of this village are very proud of their birthplace and they have renovated their old family country houses.Koilani is re-known also for the excellent wine they produce there, and for this reason there are several local wines.I had the privilege of visiting one of them, Vlasides Winery, and I was highly impressed by their building, their equipment and of course their top quality wine. The owner is personally in charge of all tasks, from pruning the vine tress, to harvesting and of the entire wine making process. There is no doubt why his wines are so famous around the world and they have won in several wine competitions."Afamia" is the cutlural event or fete/celebration of the village and this takes place in the first Sunday in October. It coincides with the grape harvest and the processing of grapes into many products, including of wine.It is a must to visit Koilani for Cypriots and for tourists.

Visit the charming hillside village of Koilani for its delightful atmosphere, small square, typical coffee shops, local tavernas and old village houses. A great place to stop on the way up the mountains driving from Limassol. One of the big 'Krassohoria' (wine villages) of Cyprus Koilani welcomes visitors on wine tasting tours at its many wineries accross the village to sample its local wine as well as the 'grape based' delicacies such as palouze and shoushouko. Also recommended are it's local tavernas serving authentic Cypriot cuisine at reasonable prices. A 'must visit' village along the Cyprus wine route. A useful hint is to consult the annual event calendar for festivals and special occasions on the village to maximise your experience.
