Palia Kakopetria (the old part of the village) is the most beautiful and picturesque part of the village and it is built on the place where Kakopetria had first arisen (Old Village). Today, this part of the village is actually on the west side of the village, and more specifically it emerges from the left side of the valley Solia. Palia Kakopetria is surrounded by two rivers: Karkotis and Garilis. The architecture of Palia Kakopetria will attract and amaze you with its distinct character. The houses are all built very close to each other and almost all of them have two floors. The roofs of the houses seem to be united as a big imaginable road. Every house had a little yard where they usually kept logs which were used in the mud-oven and in the tsiminia which is something similar to the fireplace. Among the traditional and picturesque houses of Kakopetria lies a tortuous stone made road. Within the efforts for the embellishment of Palia Kakopetria, a sewage system was put below the stone made road. The traditional architecture and building of the houses offer to the village a special colour. The entire village is a unique sample of original folk architecture. The inhabitants of the village have contributed to the conservation of the folk architecture of the village as they began restoring their houses on their own but also according to the guidelines of the Department of Antiquities. The first houses were restored in 1980. Both the participation of the inhabitants of Kakopetria and the governmental services has ensured the renaissance of the traditional architecture of the village. Palia Kakopetria is under the protection of the Department of Antiquities and it is classified as an ancient monument. After the classification of Kakopetria by the Department of Antiquities as an ancient monument, more restorations have begun. For example an old wine press and a watermill were repaired. Palia Kakopetria is a vivid museum of folk tradition and architecture and offers to every visitor amazing landscapes and many elements of the Cypriot civilization. WATERMILLS Due to the abundant waters of the rivers Karkotis and Garillis, two watermills were built in the mountainous village Kakopetria. The two watermills were called Milos tis Gonias (watermill in the corner) and the Milos tou Hadjistavrinou (the mill of Hadjistavrinos). The first one was built on the central road, on the left bank of the river of Agios Nikolaos. The second one was built near the central road between the estuaries of the two rivers. The watermills began their operation in the middle of the 18th century and more specifically in 1754. They finally closed down after the end of the Second War World. The watermills used to grind grain and barley to make flour. The two watermills of Kakopetria worked in order to cover the needs of the village but also for the vicinal villages especially in periods of droughts. Some testimonies claim that many people arrived from different parts of the island such as Mesaoria, Pitsilia, Ambelochoria and Pafos, in order to use the mill. They used to stay in Kakopetria for 3 to 5 days as they had to wait for 2 days in order to finish their job. It is said that the people who used the mill paid a special fee, called grind fee which was actually a fixed amount of money for the service of the mill. The miller was getting paid either in money or in different products. A distich saved by Papadopoulos Athanasios declares the great reputation of the mills of Kakopetria and especially of the so-called Milos tis Gonias For this famous watermill there are also some other documents. The mill was built by a deacon of Saint Nicholas monastery in 1754. The documents which were found agree that this mill belonged to the Archbishop and then it was rent to others and sometime later, the archbishop decided to sell it. Information that we have claims that the Archbishop has bought it for three hundred pounds and another one says that five other people have bought it together for two hundred and fifty pounds. After the cease of its operation, the Milos tis Gonias was restored, in 1980. The mill of Hadjistavros was demolished. The first one is nowadays a tourist sight and its present owner is Aristeidis Papa. The people who visit the Mill can learn some basic things for its operation and the history of the mills in Cyprus. When you enter in the premises of the mill you will see a rectangular wooden tub, which is narrower at the bottom. In this tub they used to put cereals, wheat and barley. On the millstone they used to place a special lever which grinded the cereals in small or coarse grains. On the millstones there was an axle, sometimes wooden and sometimes iron made. The axle began its operation when the water entered in the water wheel. The water begun its course in the headrace, then it continued in a wooden channel and then after a vertical fall it entered in a special water hole, which is built on the side of the water wheel. After this course, the force of the water caused the operation of the millstones. Through the description of the Mills, we can see that the inhabitants of Kakopetria exploited perfectly the water of the village. We can also discover the cultural and historical side of the village. KAKOPETRIAS FOREST The forest of the village covers 25.500 hectares and it lies on Troodos. It consists the National Forest Park. It is one of the most beautiful forests in Cyprus and has many natural beauties such as natural trails and roads. The most important trails are: 1. The trail which begins from Xilovrisi Troodos Mnimata ton Episkopon and it stops in Apotheri. In older times, this trail was the main road for Troodos. 2. The trail which begins from Kannaoures-Pezounokremo and it stops at Saint Nicolas Stegis. Some of the most important locations in the forests are: Laxia tou Koufou, Skotini, Apotheri, Pezounokremmos, Zoumi, Neron tou Pefkou, Kokkinorotsos, Troullin tou Mouchtari, Livadi tou Papaphilippou, Pitera, Mnimata ton Episkopon, Alas, Platania, Karvounas, Pikromiloudi, Kannoures and Fterikeri. The most important types of trees and bushes are: Turkish pines (pinus brutia) start from Kakopetria and stop in Amiandos. On the top of Olympus you will meet many Austrian pines (Pinus nigra) and of course cypresses. The banks of the two rivers of the village are dressed with platens and aldes. You will be amazed by the platens near the forest station of Platania. The main types of bushes are: latzia, antrouklia, sfentamies, sterakies, wild apple trees, wild roses and xistarkies. The majority of the village of Solea and Pitsilia take potable water from this forest. Garilis and karkotis, which rise from the forest, are joined in the village and form another river called Klarios which irrigate the valley of Solia. In the village, near the forest station there is a camping place for the tourists. The forest station is the base of three other forest regions: the one of Troodos, Limassol and Adelfi. At Moutti ton mnimaton above the Mnimata ton Episkopon there was the first fire guard house. At that time, when a fire had burst, the two rangers of the area run to the fire station of Platania and informed the fire men. Nowadays, the messages for any fire bursting in the area are sent by phones, cell phones or walkie-talkies. During the Turkish occupation, there were big kilns for the elaboration of tar. You can see one of them near the location Pervolia, another one at the location Atsoupokamino, near Pikromiloudi and the last one at the location Kamioudi. Till recently there were

SHOWN PRICE IS REFERRED TO 2 PERSONS. ASK FOR MULTI APARTMENTS PRICE IF YOUR GROUP IS COMPOSED OF MORE THAN 2 PERSONS Discover Sicily? Start from here ! It's the best! SICILY It's more than an island! Discover Sicily and discover the world. The world's first multicultural society, Sicily is Italy's (and Europe's) most historically cosmopolitan region, having been ruled by Asians, Africans and Europeans. Sicily is black and white and a million shades of gray. SICILY There's no other place on Earth like Sicily. Our island is a unique place full of art, archeology, history, folklore and breathtaking scenery. And, of course, great food. Sicily is almost a nation unto itself. The enchanting land where Archimedes taught and Saint Paul preached was a Greek colony, a Roman province, an Arab emirate and a Norman kingdom. The Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Swabians, Angevins and Aragonese made Sicily their own, leaving behind an eclectic history that you can still touch today. And Sicily will touch you. Sicily is Europe, Africa and Asia on one island. Greek tyrants, Arab emirs, Norman knights, Byzantine bishops and Holy Roman Emperors made Sicily the place it is. Experience their legacy in Phoenician settlements, Punic cities, Greek temples, Roman amphitheatres, Norman Arab castles and Aragonese churches. Thirty centuries of history expressed in the Classical, the Romanesque, the Gothic, the Baroque... Sikania to its most ancient peoples, Sicily was Sikelia, Plato's utopian society, to the ancient Greeks. Later, the sonnet was created at the Court of Frederick II, and Sicily found her place in the literature of Dante and Boccaccio. Sunny Sicily is Punic Palermo, towering Taormina, ancient Agrigento, splendid Siracusa, and medieval Monreale and Cefalù. And God created Sicily. The place where the mountains meet the sea. Sicilia, the island in the sun, is home to Heavenly beaches, majestic mountains and Europe's greatest natural wonder, Mount Etna. Sicily's coasts are gold with orange and lemon orchards. In northeastern Sicily you'll find lush forests. In the central regions you'll encounter rugged land and rolling hills. Dignified vineyards, ancient olive groves, hardy almond orchards and endless wheat fields complete the picture. Summer is amber land under a sky of blue. Winter finds palm trees dusted with snow in a surreal symphony. Spring is a rainbow of wild flowers set against greenest fields... If you could choose just one place to visit where you could witness everything from the culture of Hellenic antiquity to the glories of the Middle Ages and the wonders of the Renaissance, shaped by a dozen civilizations, Sicily would be that place. Yes, our island is Italian. And French and Spanish and Greek, with a few German and Arab nuances in the cultural mix. Sicily is the world's island. A place where time and tradition have been forged by peoples and faiths from the north and south, from the east and west. Timeless beauty in eclectic diversity: Europe, Africa and Asia in one magical moment... THE ISLAND Sicily, the largest island of the Mediterranean Sea has a vaguely triangular shape and is surrounded by the Tyrrhenian Sea on the North and the Ionic Sea on the East. The Canal of Sicily on the southwest is about 140 km from the African continent. The straight of Messina about3 km divides the island from the mainland, Italy, on the Northeast. Its territory is mostly hilly. *COASTLINE The Sicilian coastline surpasses 1.000 km and 1.500 km, if the smaller islands are included. The Northern coastline stretches from Capo Peloro near Messina to Capo Lilibeo near Marsala. In the West, it extends from Marsala to Trapani and changes landscape completely turning into the white of the salt water (saline). The Southern coastline, sandy and low, reaches Capo Passero the extreme southern part of Sicily in the province of Ragusa. Still, the Eastern coastline is characterized by the presence of numerous gulfs: Noto, Augusta and Catania. North of Catania, tall hills of calcareous stones from the Peloritan Mountains and lava stones from Mount Etna distinguish the surroundings with spectacular breathtaking views. *MOUNTAINS AND VOLCANOES The Sicilian Apennines can be considered in part as a continuation of the Calabrian Apennines and are divided in three different sections: the Peloritan Mountains between Messina and Patti (northeast); the Nebrodi Mountains (northwest) and, further West, the Madonie Mountains. Mount Etna is not only the highest mountain in Sicily 3.323 m) but also the highest active volcano in Europe. Sicily is made up of three volcanic districts: the Aeolian Islands, Etna and the Canal of Sicily. *ISLANDS AND ARCHIPELAGOES Small islands and archipelagoes are to be found around the island: the Aeolian Islands and Ustica north of Sicily in the Tyrrhenian Sea; the Aegadian Islands off the coast of Trapani on the West side; and Pantelleria and the Pelagie Islands with Lampedusa in the Southwest of the Canal of Sicily. HISTORY The Mediterranean Sea has played a crucial role in the development of the most ancient civilities since the XIV century BC and so has Sicily, with its fascinating and bloody history of dominations that have shaped the character of its people, as well as its territory and architecture throughout the centuries. - Prehistoric Sicily (1270-735 BC) - Archeological remains have been found in the necropolises of Pantalica and Cassibile (nearby Syracuse). Siculi, Sicani and Elymi were the original populations of the island, but were not native peoples. The Siculi lived in the south centeral part, northwest of Syracuse; the Sicani, probably not an Indo-European population, lived on the western side; and the Elymi founded Erice and Segesta. The Carthaginians, coming from the northern African coasts, colonized Solunto, Panormo (now Palermo), Mozia and Lilibeo. - The Greek Colonization (735-212 BC) - Naxos was the first Greek colony in Sicily, founded in 735 BC. Syracuse was funded a year later in 734 BC. The former populations (Sicani, Siculi and Elymi) completely ousted the Carthaginians in 480 BC. The battle of Himera marked the beginning of Greek supremacy on the island. It is during this period that culture and architecture flourished leaving to the island the richest archeological heritage in the Mediterranean of classical Greece. There is no village in Sicily that does not have some archeological evidence of the influence by Magna Grecee. - Roman Sicily (212 BC-468 AC) - Sicily became a Roman province in 227 BC. The Romans built large feudal estates and imposed taxes. It was during this period that the island made its name as Rome's "bread basket", since it provided about 1/5 of the wheat necessary to the city. Syracuse resisted against the Roman dominion, but it finally surrendered after a long and brutal assault in 211 BC. The conditions under the Romans fueled two slavery revolts that ended in bloody massacres in 131 BC and 99 BC. In spite of the continuous turmoil, Sicily managed to be one of the most important economic drivers of the Roman supremacy in the Mediterranean. In II AC, Christianity spread out in the island. With the fall of the Roman Empire, Sicily was conquered by Genserico, King of the Vandals, in 468 AC. - Arab Sicily (827-1061) - Starting in 827, Sicily became a target for frequent Arab raids. However, only in 902 did the Arabs take total control of the island. During this period, Palermo and its surroundings turned into a prosperous symbol of Arab Sicily.

Park Farm takes its name from a deer-park on the site of the present farm, owned by the Cistercian Abbey of Cleave in Somerset. It was the home farm of the manor of Braunton Abbots, granted to Cleave by Henry III in 1229 and held by them until the dissolution of the Abbey in 1536. Park is first mentioned by name in a document of 1333 and although the present house is of a much later date, traces of the old building have been found in a field below it. On the west side of Braunton the Great Field is still preserved, one of the only three surviving in England, where strip-cultivation was practised for centuries, each tenant renting one or more of the hundreds of small strips of land. The south-facing slope of the valley on the other side of Braunton where Park Farm stands, once held a smaller strip-field, the East field. Many of the manor lands were subject to the unusual custom of Borough English, where the property was inherited by the youngest son.

Sibenik archipelago is the area of Adriatic aquarium in vicinity of Sibenik which consist of about 25 islands stretching along the coast over the area of about 160 square kilometers. Although this is a pretty large number of islands, only six of them are permanently populated with total of just about 7.5 thousand people. Due to its scarce population, Sibenik Archipelago is popular to visit among people who seek isolation and beautiful, untouched nature. MUST SEE in Sibenik area – Casa Marina Except all the heritage sites and beautiful places to visit in the city center that has a lot to offer, First Class Croatia is advising you to visit the following and whatever you choose, if not all, you will not regret it.

The sea around the islands is rich with fish and a variety of marine life.... The islands have no spring water, only rainwater collected in water holes. The unique feature of the islands lies in their rugged shores with many caves and coves. The landscape of chalk limestone is covered with bushes of rosemary, juniper, lavender, thyme, myrtle and sage. Pathways leading to steep and huge cliffs facing the open sea and others gently decline towards the sea, ending in a small bay with a jetty and one or two fishermen's cottages surrounded by pine, olives and fig trees.
